BALTIMORE (AP) - Baltimore police are investigating three more slayings as the city continues to endure a spike in violent crime.

Police say shortly after 6:30 Sunday morning, authorities found a woman's body inside a burning house in northeast Baltimore. Police believe the woman was killed and the house was then set on fire.

Earlier Sunday morning, police say officers found a 22-year-old man who had been shot multiple times in northwest Baltimore. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

And on Sunday afternoon, police say a man was fatally shot in south Baltimore.

Police have not identified suspects in any of the slayings.

There were 42 homicides in Baltimore last month, making it the city's deadliest in more than 40 years.
