BALTIMORE, MD — Two people died in Monday's explosion in northwest Baltimore, officials said Tuesday morning.

A man's body was recovered from the wreckage in northwest Baltimore overnight, according to Blair Adams, spokesperson for the Baltimore Fire Department. A woman was found dead at the scene Monday.

Joseph Graham, 20, was identified as one of the deceased, according to WMAR, which reported he was a student at Morgan State University.

The explosion on Labyrinth at Reisterstown roads erupted before 10 a.m. Monday, according to authorities. About 200 emergency personnel converged to help clear through the wreckage to search for survivors after three homes were leveled in the neighborhood.

Five people are in critical condition at the hospital, and two others remain hospitalized, but their conditions are unknown, Adams said at a news conference Tuesday morning.

"We haven't heard reports of anyone still missing," Adams said.

Nearly 30 residents used a temporary shelter, and over 200 were impacted by the blast, Adams said.

"Pray for healing for this entire community and for the whole entire city of Baltimore," Mayor Bernard "Jack" Young said.
