In the winter of 2018, a promising young life was tragically cut short on the streets of Baltimore. Michael Handy Jr., a 17-year-old Black male, was fatally shot on Monday, December 10, 2018. Known affectionately as Mike to his friends and family, he was born on March 29, 2001, to Cynthia Rowe and Michael Handy.
The incident that claimed Michael's life occurred near the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Dolphin Street.
He was the victim of a shooting in an area known to be monitored by police surveillance cameras. Despite the presence of these cameras, which authorities hoped would provide crucial evidence, the perpetrator or perpetrators have not been publicly identified.

The case remains unsolved, leaving a void in the lives of his loved ones and the community. The Baltimore Police Department has continued to seek information from the public to help bring those responsible for his death to justice.
