Two men arrested for multiple violent crimes in Baltimore

Baltimore police have arrested Eddie Murphy, 39, and Christopher Brigerman, 44, in connection with a string of violent crimes in the Southeast and Eastern Districts, including multiple shootings, an armed carjacking, an assault, and a burglary. Authorities say the pair allegedly shot a man during an attempted armed robbery on January 1, which marked the city's first shooting of the year, and Murphy has been linked to three additional shootings between January and March as well as an armed carjacking in April. Investigators used surveillance footage and intelligence to identify the suspects, both of whom have prior arrests for robbery and assault. Brigerman was apprehended during a burglary investigation on April 9, while Murphy was arrested without incident on April 5. Police Commissioner Richard Worley commended officers for connecting the suspects to the series of violent crimes and removing repeat offenders from the streets. The investigation remains ongoing as both men face multiple charges.
