In the pre-dawn hours of a summer Saturday in Baltimore, tragedy struck on North Broadway. On July 2, 2022, at approximately 3:34 a.m., police responded to a report of a shooting in the 600 block of the street. There, they discovered 33-year-old Jamar Roberson, a male, suffering from gunshot wounds and lying unresponsive. Emergency medical services transported him to a nearby hospital, but his injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival.
Known to some by
the nickname 'SIMBA,' Jamar Roberson's life was cut short by an act of violence that left a community searching for answers. In the days and weeks that followed, details about the circumstances leading to the shooting remained scarce. The Baltimore Police Department's Southeast District Shooting detectives took charge of the investigation, urging anyone with information to come forward. The motive for the shooting has not been publicly released, and it is unclear if Roberson was targeted or the victim of a random act.
As of now, the case remains unsolved, and no arrests have been announced in connection with the murder of Jamar Roberson. Authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or persons of interest. To encourage potential witnesses to step forward, Metro Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $8,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in this case. The investigation into his death is ongoing as his family and friends continue to seek justice.
