In a press conference, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she will not seek re-election as she is focussed on the Freddie Gray tragedy.
The city of Baltimore will pay $6.4 million to the family of Freddie Gray, who died while riding in the back of a police van in an incident that fueled national concern about the treatment of minorities at the hands of the police and sparked a riot in Baltimore over the summer.
The Mayor of Baltimore has fired the city's police commissioner after the release of a report about the handling of riots that rocked the city and grabbed international headlines after the death of Freddie Gray in police custody.
The 25-year-old 'jokester' was well-liked by everyone, including the police, before he became a name chanted all over the streets of Baltimore.
