In the spring of 2022, a weekend in Baltimore was marred by violence that left several families mourning the loss of their loved ones. Among the victims was Edward Donald Garey IV, a 26-year-old man known affectionately as Eddie. On Friday, March 25, 2022, Garey was in the 1900 block of Denison Street in the Walbrook section of West Baltimore when he was fatally shot. Despite being rushed to a medical facility, he succumbed to his injuries the following day.
His sudden and violent death sent ripples of grief through his community.
Born on September 19, 1995, Edward was a Baltimore native who had received his high school diploma from Baltimore Civitas High School. He had also earned certificates from the Baltimore City Mayor Program and the Strive Program. At the time of his death, he was employed at The Baltimore Convention Center and had previously worked for Helping Hands Home Improvement. Friends and family remember him as someone who enjoyed cooking, spending time with friends, watching comedy shows, and playing video games.
The Baltimore Police Department identified Garey as one of several victims in a string of shootings that occurred over that violent weekend. Law enforcement officials have been actively investigating the circumstances surrounding his death and have urged anyone with information to come forward. However, despite their ongoing efforts, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests or the identification of any suspects in connection with the shooting of Edward Donald Garey IV. The case remains an open investigation, one of many that highlight the persistent challenge of gun violence in the city.
