Baltimore Riots, Day 4: Freddie Gray Report, Ravens in City

Days after the Baltimore riots, celebrities headed into the city, where the National Guard remains to keep the peace in some areas, including outside City Hall and downtown.

Baltimore Police announced that the department submitted its investigative findings in the death of Freddie Gray to the state’s attorney Thursday morning, and the state’s attorney’s office is now reviewing the documents.

A march took place from North Avenue down Saint Paul Street to City Hall starting at 4 p.m. on Thursday. NBC star Carmelo Anthony was among the hundreds who participated in the peaceful gathering, according to Reuters.

Elsewhere, the Baltimore Ravens were out and about, rallying around the community.

“It’s about coming together,” Ray Lewis said, speaking to students at Frederick Douglass High School. Lewis, the retired Ravens defenseman, released a video after the Baltimore riots urging children not to participate in violence.

Ravens were pictured dropping off food at a local elementary school and tweeted out: “#BaltimoreStrong.”

Defensive lineman Lorenzo Taliaferro and safety Will Hill said the team was headed downtown after 8 a.m. to help “inspire” the community and “rebuild” the city.

Al Sharpton met with Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the NAACP and faith leaders at 1:30 p.m. Thursday at New Shiloh Baptist Church, 2100 North Monroe Street, where Gray was laid to rest on Monday, ABC 2 News reported.

Sharpton is planning a march on Sunday from Baltimore to Washington, DC, calling for an end to racial profiling, according to CNN.

Many arrested during Monday’s violence have been released, some not knowing why they were arrested as charges have not been filed, according to The Washington Post.

Kowalczyk said that there were 201 arrests during Monday’s riots and of those, 106 people were released Wednesday without charges; police continue to review video footage of the areas impacted and may press charges later.
