Fifteen Baltimore Police employees, including sworn and professional personnel, were investigated for misconduct allegations following the Brooklyn Day mass shooting last July, the department said Thursday.

Of those, two are facing termination and 10 are recommended to lose days of pay.

The police department news release included an overview of the internal investigation’s results but did not include the names of the officers or the full investigative files.

Gunfire erupted past midnight at the hundreds-large block party in Brooklyn Homes last July, wounding 30, two fatally. The two killings have not been solved. Four of the five teenagers accused of participating in the chaotic shootout have pleaded guilty to varying roles. None admitted to shooting anyone, despite four being charged with attempted murder.

According to the department, it investigated the employees for allegations of false statements, neglect of duty, conduct unbecoming and body-worn camera violations. It did not specify which administrative charges pertained to which personnel. The 15 employees investigated for policy and misconduct violations were a captain, two lieutenants, four sergeants, three officers and five professional staff members.

Out of the 15 who were investigated, 12 were charged with administrative violations or “inactions tied to the mass shooting and/or the investigation into possible misconduct,” the news release said. Those dozen included eight sworn personnel and four professional staff members, who are typically civilians.

“From Day One, it was important that we not only do a deep dive into all that happened before, during and after this tragic incident, but also hold those accountable who violated our policies and, most importantly, the public’s trust,” Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said in the statement. “Our Department is committed to learning from this incident and rebuilding trust with the communities we serve.”

Before the recommended discipline is finalized, sworn members can request a trial board to “challenge their charges and/or discipline.” Professional members follow the city’s Administrative and Personnel Manual, the release noted.

“This tragedy has left deep scars on all of Baltimore — made worse by the understanding that there were preventable failures and mistakes made by those who are charged with keeping all of our residents safe,” Mayor Brandon Scott said in the release. “These recommendations are fair, and hopefully they will aid in the effort to heal from this tragedy and ensure the department is better equipped moving forward.”

City Councilwoman Phylicia Porter, who represents neighborhoods including Brooklyn, called the disciplinary measures a “monumental and historic step towards police accountability and rebuilding trust within Baltimore and communities that have been historically forgotten.”

The investigation, she said, demonstrates the police department’s “willingness to learn from mistakes” and work toward a safer future for residents.

“While we continue to remember and celebrate the lives of Aaliyah Gonzalez and Kylis Fagbemi, the knowledge that this tragedy may have been prevented through proper response protocols added another layer of grief,” Porter wrote in a statement. “The disciplinary action taken sends a clear message that neglect of duty and failure to serve and protect the people of Baltimore City will not be tolerated.”

William “Billy” Murphy Jr., meanwhile, said the police department would need to make additional information public before conclusions could be drawn. In November, Murphy’s firm filed notices of intent to bring claims of negligence and intentional wrongdoing against Baltimore Police and other city agencies on behalf of shooting victims and families of those affected.

“It will be vital for us to know where all of these people’s misbehavior fits into the overall scheme of things. Until we know that, this information doesn’t help us to determine what the breakdowns were in this incident,” Murphy said.

He added that he believes further information should be released, “because of the extraordinary gravity of this incident.” The longtime lawyer said in November that he believed the mass shooting could have been prevented.

The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge representing Baltimore Police officers criticized the department’s disciplinary actions for making lower ranking officers “scapegoats” for higher ranking police and city officials.

“The Baltimore Police Department and city leaders continue to push their failures onto the rank-and-file members within our agency,” wrote lodge President Mike Mancuso. “Not one person above the rank of Lieutenant has been held responsible for this debacle. Not a single city leader or BPD Command member, most of whom played a part in the daily staffing shortages that are ever present throughout the city.”

The police response leading up to and during the annual block party in Brooklyn Homes was heavily scrutinized in the months following the shootout. Some residents questioned why Baltimore Police weren’t present for the gathering, while the department said it was unaware of the date.

The Baltimore Sun reported following the shooting that Baltimore Police officers were aware of the hundreds-large gathering before shooting began around 12:30 a.m., based on archived radio traffic.

In one exchange, just before 10 p.m., dispatchers said a 911 caller had reported “hundreds of males and females armed with guns and knives” at the Brooklyn Homes.

Someone, it’s not clear who, replied dispatch would “probably have to redirect that call to the National Guard,” according to the audio.

An after-action report from Baltimore Police released in August said there were signs about Brooklyn Day that were apparently missed: a social media post flagged by an intelligence unit, a U-Haul truck loading in equipment and a growing crowd observed by CitiWatch employees.

The report further found that sergeants and the lieutenant monitoring the crowd gave “very little consideration” to potential public safety concerns inherent in the massive crowd. The report’s authors said they also failed to share the information quickly, to call for additional resources, or to provide officers with direction on whether or how to intervene in the crowd.

“Officer indifference may have significantly compromised the awareness, planning and response to Brooklyn Day prior to the large crowds arriving,” the report said. “Members of the community can view such indifference (whether real or perceived) as a form of bias.”

Based on the department’s news release Thursday, it does not appear any police officers were investigated for bias in connection with Brooklyn Day. Councilwoman Odette Ramos has questioned whether labeling the lapses as “indifference” might mean dodging accountability for what she sees as bias connected to the police response in Brooklyn.

Separate from the misconduct investigation, Baltimore Police have taken steps in the past year to prioritize officers’ relationships with the community and their presence in neighborhoods.

Worley created a Community Policing Section and issued a memo in April calling on all officers to be “community policing” officers and to prioritize engagement with residents.

The agency also underwent an already-scheduled redistricting shortly after Brooklyn Day. It says the neighborhood is now within three post areas, not one, ideally leading to quicker response times and freeing officers up for more interactions with residents.

Police spokeswoman Lindsey Eldridge said this week that the neighborhood has seen a 36% decrease in violent crime this year.
