A man shot by police in Upton on Tuesday evening died later that night, Baltimore Police confirmed Wednesday.

Police said the man was declared dead at 11:14 p.m. after being transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center for treatment.

Authorities have not released the man’s identity.

Officers who were patrolling the area around Pennsylvania Avenue and Laurens Street around 7 p.m. Tuesday approached the man who they believed to be armed, Police Commissioner Richard Worley said Tuesday night.

The Maryland Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division released new details on Wednesday about the shooting. In the preliminary investigation report, the Independent Investigation Division said officers were in an unmarked cruiser when they approached the man.

The man wore a crossbody bag while standing on a corner as officers attempted to speak to him from the unmarked cruiser, the Office of the Attorney General said. An officer got out of the car and began following him.
