Safe Streets Worker Arrested in Baltimore Shooting

A Safe Streets worker in Baltimore, Antoine Burton, 51, was arrested for attempted first-degree murder and gun charges after a shooting on June 7 that left a 40-year-old man injured. Mayor Brandon Scott condemned Burton’s actions as a disgrace, especially given his role promoting peace on the front lines of violence intervention. He emphasized this is an isolated incident and not a reflection on the vital, daily work of Safe Streets — a program since 2007 that has meditated over 1,200 conflicts this year across 10 locations, striving to de-escalate violence before it erupts.
