Baltimore Police are currently investigating the incident. According to a user on twitter, there are indications the victims head may have been run over multiple times. It is not certain whether the incident was malicious and criminal in intent.

A large pool of blood was observed by The Baltimore Spectator on the concrete slab of the gas stations service area. Police crime lab, along with a Baltimore City Fire Department fire engine, arrived almost simultaneously, around the time this writer began to depart. Fire engines are often called to the scene of violent incidents to assist in hosing down blood and other fluids.
