Officer Shot During Traffic Stop | Annapolis News
Description
Baltimore Police have named the officer and suspect in a dramatic Saturday night shooting near Lexington Market: veteran cop Samuel Thomas shot and critically wounded 29-year-old Tyrik Braxton after Braxton allegedly struck him with his car, dragged him, then reversed into a patrol vehicle—prompting Thomas to fire three shots. The incident, which occurred around 9:30 PM during a routine traffic stop, has sparked debate over deescalation and officer safety as Thomas is on administrative leave while internal investigators review the event. Braxton remains in critical condition; Thomas suffered minor injuries and was released.
