A woman was fatally stabbed Wednesday in Baltimore after an altercation involving gay slurs, police
Dominique Wilson died at a hospital after a confrontation on Druid Hill Avenue in West Baltimore. WJZ's report pieces together the fatal encounter through cellphone footage, emergency dispatch audio and charging documents.
Police say the stabbing followed an altercation involving anti-gay slurs directed at a man Wilson was walking with. The footage included in the report shows the confrontation escalating physically, with someone using crutches and another person spraying something. Those images alone do not establish the full sequence of events or resolve questions of responsibility.
The report drew roughly 34,000 views within seven hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for a Short.
Lynch also speaks with a local property owner, Hattie, who remembers a more peaceful neighborhood. "I've owned this property here for several years, and I've never heard of anything happening like that," she says.
