Recent Fells Point crime In August, Fells Point residents and business owners told WJZ they were concerned with the recent violence, following a large fight and shooting at the corner of South Broadway and Thames Street. WJZ was at the scene when the fight began and caught most of the action on video. Police said a shooting happened less than 12 hours before the fight, when a 31-year-old woman was grazed by a bullet. In July, a shooting and an armed robbery in Baltimore's Fells Point neighborhood prompted concern among residents. "Usually, Fells Point, you come down here and it's a family-oriented place, but I would say in the summertime, it's hit or miss," said visitor Rick Yslas. "You definitely want to be vigilant when you come out." On July 3, Jabarai Cannon, 21, was killed just before 3 a.m. in Fells Point near the parking lot off Thames and Bond streets. In late June, a pastor from a Connecticut church fought back as he was carjacked at gunpoint while visiting Fells Point. WJZ obtained video of the attack. Baltimore police said officers found the car hours later, down the street on South Broadway. Three teens were arrested – ages 15, 16, and 19 years old. And, on June 6, in the 1600 block of Thames Street, an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old were shot and survived.
