A man was shot and killed Thursday during a confrontation with people cleaning windshields for cash at a downtown Baltimore intersection. The man’s family said he “should have just kept driving.”

A man shot and killed during a confrontation with people cleaning windshields for cash at a downtown Baltimore intersection"should have just kept driving" instead of swinging a baseball bat at one or more of them, the man's father said Friday.

Timothy Reynolds, 48, of Baltimore, was driving through an intersection near the city’s Inner Harbor Thursday afternoon when he had a heated interaction with so-called squeegee workers, parked his car and came back with a baseball bat, Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison told reporters. He “swung the bat at one or more of those squeegee workers. In return, one of the squeegee workers pulled out a gun and fired, striking this male victim,” Harrison said. He added that police didn’t know if Reynolds hit anyone with the bat.

The man's father, Carroll Reynolds, told the Baltimore Sun that he learned of his son's death several hours after the shooting. The elder Reynolds had spent Thursday evening watching his grandson play baseball.
