The mural in the background is a tribute to Trayvon Martin, the unarmed Florida teenager who was shot to death by a neighborhood watch member in 2012.
There's no word on why officers shot the suspect in Baltimore. According to a report from the Baltimore Spectator, police say the shooting occurred during a traffic stop and that the suspect was tasered before the shooting. That suspect was taken to the hospital, according to the Baltimore PD's Twitter, but there was no update on their condition.
