In the cold of a late January evening in Baltimore, a discovery was made that would leave a family grieving and a community searching for answers. On Saturday, January 22, 2022, police were called to the Westport area, where they found 20-year-old Kenneth Lawson unresponsive on an Interstate 295 ramp. Initially, the nature of his death was unclear, with signs of trauma to his head.
Paramedics arrived at the scene but were unable to revive him, and he was pronounced dead.
The young man's body was taken to the medical examiner's office, where an autopsy would reveal the tragic truth. The cause of death was determined to be a homicide resulting from a gunshot wound to the head. What might have appeared as an unfortunate accident was now a murder investigation, and the Baltimore Police Department's Homicide Unit took charge of the case.
As of the latest available information, no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting death of Kenneth Lawson. Homicide detectives are actively investigating the circumstances that led to his death and have appealed to the public for any information that might lead to the identification and apprehension of a suspect or suspects.
