Baltimore Princess Plaza Social Network: 12 Arrests, 7 Guns, And 5 Attempted Murder Allegations

Preview Case File

Before Princess Plaza became a public takedown, Baltimore police were looking at something they believed was larger than one drug corner. The full case file breaks down how investigators focused on a West Baltimore plaza on Edmondson Avenue, identified a group they called a “social network,” recovered guns, drugs, phones, cash, and packaging materials, then publicly tied that same network to five attempted murders even though the charges announced at the time did not fully explain that violence claim.

That gap is what makes this case worth opening.

Police said the Princess Plaza network was believed to be connected to five attempted murders in 2022. That allegation turns the case from a normal drug-and-gun arrest into a deeper look at how Baltimore investigators were trying to map violence through people, locations, phones, weapons, and street-level relationships.

The evidence list was heavy: 12 arrests, 10 publicly named adults, two juveniles, seven firearms, suspected fentanyl, suspected heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana, multiple cell phones, packaging materials, ammunition, and more than $21,000 in cash. But the strongest part of the file is not only what police said they found. It is what they believed that evidence was connected to.

What The Full File Unlocks

Inside the full case file, the takedown is broken down piece by piece: the Princess Plaza location, the Edmondson Avenue corridor, the arrest roster, the evidence photos, the recovered firearms, the drug packaging, the cash, the phones, and the Group Violence Reduction Strategy that put this case inside Baltimore’s larger violence-reduction push.

The file also follows the contradiction sitting at the center of the case. Police publicly connected the network to five attempted murders, but public reporting said the announced arrests centered on drugs and firearms offenses. That raises the key question: what did investigators believe linked the Princess Plaza network to those shootings, and why did the public charges only reveal part of the story?
