CRJ620 Intervention Plan Scenarios
Freddie Gray – On April 12, 2015, Freddie Carlos Gray, Jr., a 25-year-old African-American man, was
arrested by the Baltimore Police Department for possessing what the police alleged was an illegal
switchblade. While being transported in a police van, Gray fell into a coma and was taken to a trauma
center. Gray died on April 19, 2015; his death was ascribed to injuries to his spinal cord. On April 21,
2015, pending an investigation of the incident, six Baltimore police officers were temporarily suspended
with pay. On May 1, 2015, the Baltimore City State’s Attorney, Marilyn Mosby, announced her office
filed charges against six police officers after they received a medical examiner’s report that ruled Gray’s
death a homicide. On May 21, 2015, a grand jury indicted the officers on most of the original charges
filed by Mosby with the exception of the charges of illegal imprisonment and false arrest, and added
charges of reckless endangerment to all the officers involved. Gray’s death resulted in an ongoing series
of protests and civil disorder. A major protest in downtown Baltimore on April 25, 2015, turned violent,
resulting in 34 arrests and injuries to 15 police officers. After Gray’s funeral on April 27, 2015, civil
unrest intensified with looting and burning of local businesses and a CVS drug store, culminating with a
state of emergency declaration by Governor Lawrence Hogan, Maryland National Guard deployment to
Baltimore, and the establishment of a curfew. On May 3, 2015, the National Guard started withdrawing
from Baltimore, and the nighttime curfew on the city was lifted.
