  • Activist Duane G. Davis captured the moment after Major Gibson tried to save the baby.

  • The baby was later transported to a local hospital, where it was pronounced dead.

  • Although there are many tensions between the Baltimore police and the community, Major Gibson was labeled a hero for his attempt.
