In the late spring of 2021, a grim discovery was made on the side of a road in Baltimore County, Maryland. The body of 30-year-old Orlando Carranza-Portillo, a male, was found by a passerby on the morning of Saturday, May 22nd. His remains had been left in some brush off of Hammonds Ferry Road in the Lansdowne area, near the Anne Arundel County line.
Upon their arrival, law enforcement officials determined that Carranza-Portillo had sustained gunshot wounds.
The case was quickly classified as a homicide, marking the 27th such investigation in Baltimore County that year. Investigators began the arduous process of piecing together the events that led to his death, urging the public to come forward with any information they might have.
In the days and weeks that followed, police sought to create a timeline of Carranza-Portillo's last known whereabouts. They publicly requested that anyone who had been in contact with him or had seen anything unusual in the area where his body was found to reach out to them. Despite their appeals for assistance, information regarding any potential suspects or arrests in the case has not been publicly released. The investigation into the death of Orlando Carranza-Portillo remains unresolved.
