Baltimore, Maryland — The Baltimore Police Department released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting that took place in a Broadway East home Sunday morning. Baltimore police say officers fatally shot a man who was holding a woman at knifepoint. Police identified the man as 49-year-old Timothy Fleming, of Baltimore. On Sunday, May 16, officers responded to the 1800 block of E. Lafayette Ave for a report of a man wielding a knife. Once on location, Officer Gaston Melendez and his trainee arrived at the location and spoke to a child who said he had called 911 on his father, who was attempting to stab his mother with a knife. Officers witnessed, Timothy Fleming, holding his fiancée, Shannon Burnham, on the floor at knifepoint.

A relative of the fiancée is also seen in the video. Officers attempted to de-escalate the situation by speaking with Fleming and asking him to drop the weapon or let the victim go. Fleming ignored the officers’ commands and leaned towards the victim as if he was going to stab the victim. Two officers discharged their weapons, striking Fleming. Officer Melendez fired his weapon two times. Officer Zimmerman fired his weapon seven times. An officer was able to rescue the victim to safety. She had not been stabbed. The trainee rendered aid to Fleming. Medics responded to the scene and pronounced him dead.

  1. Wtf she starts screaming like a banshee after the threat to her is neutralized! Was she stabbed? Who the hell knows, she screams anyway. Good riddance!

  2. These guys are lucky he wasn't really about that action. Because they were slow as hell didn't even have their guns out.

  3. Man this was so so close. when I saw the first body cam I was thinking man I hope that guy has somebody behind him but I hope he doesn't go deaf after his partner shoots. Then I saw the second body cam I said oh shit it's on

  4. Towards the end, Zimmerman again asks Melendez if he's alright and Melendez replies "yeah, I'm alright…just my ear." Translation: thanks for blowing out my eardrum, partner.

  5. That little girl saved her mothers life calling 911 immediately and stopping the threat. Thankfully the suspect was shot and the victim survived.

  6. This is liberal policing. Let a suspect hold someone at knife point for several minutes without having your gun out. Dumb shit.

  7. At some point the police are going to stop going to these calls- all they get is disrespect and hate for saving someone's life
