The Baltimore Police Department (BPD) announces the arrests of 39-year-old Eddie Murphy and 44-year-old Christopher Brigerman in reference to several recent shootings, a carjacking, and a burglary in the Southeast and Eastern Districts.

Through the course of these investigations, detectives were able to obtain surveillance videos, gain intelligence and learn distinct descriptions of the suspects involved in multiple cases. Detectives from the Eastern, Southeast, Western and Citywide Robbery were able to identify Brigerman and Murphy as the suspects responsible for the attempted commercial armed robbery and shooting that occurred on January 1, 2025, in the 2400 block of Saint Paul Street.

Detectives continued their investigation, learning that 39-year-old Eddie Murphy was also responsible for three additional shootings that occurred on:

· January 18, 2025, in the 1700 block of Darley Avenue, of a 40-year-old male,

· March 9, 2025, in the 1800 block of North Washington Street, of a 23-year-old male,

· March 29, 2025, in the 1100 block of North Fulton Avenue of a 31-year-old female, and

· An armed carjacking and assault of a 52-year-old male that occurred on April 2, 2025, in the 2300 block of Harford Road.

Arrest warrants were approved and obtained for both suspects, and on April 5, 2025, Warrant Apprehension detectives arrested Eddie Murphy without incident. On April 9, 2025, Christopher Brigerman was located inside a home in the 400 block of North Rose Street during a burglary investigation. Both Brigerman and Murphy have prior arrests to include armed robbery, assault, and more.

“I want to commend our dedicated officers and detectives for their outstanding work in arresting these repeat violent offenders and removing them off our streets,” said Police Commissioner Richard Worley. "Through their tireless effort, keen investigative work, and strong intelligence gathering, Detectives were able to connect these two individuals to a series of violent crimes, including multiple shootings and robberies. Their commitment to justice for these victims is truly commendable, and this case is a testament to the power of relentless and collaborative police work.”
