A man was found fatally stabbed on a trail in Baltimore's Leakin Park Tuesday afternoon, according to The Baltimore Banner. He was discovered near the Winans Meadow trailhead just before 4 p.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sources familiar with the investigation told the Banner the victim was a bicyclist. A witness driving through the park initially thought the man had a bike accident but called 911 after seeing his injuries.

Friends of Gwynns Falls Leakin Park expressed sorrow over the incident and called for a comprehensive safety plan to keep the park safe and welcoming. Their executive director highlighted the need for more ranger resources, better lighting, emergency communications, and additional staffing.

Baltimore City Councilman Paris Gray, whose district includes Leakin Park, said he had spoken with city officials but had no further details. Homicide detectives are investigating, and authorities ask anyone with information to call 410-396-2100.
