In the early hours of a Monday morning in Baltimore, Maryland, the life of a 19-year-old Black male, Deric Garrison, was tragically cut short. On September 17, 2018, at approximately 12:15 a.m., police were called to the 3000 block of Rosedale Court for reports of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Garrison suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his head and upper body.
Despite the immediate response from medics, his injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The night of Garrison's death was marked by a wave of violence across the city, with his killing being one of several shootings that occurred. Just an hour after his body was found, another fatal shooting took the life of a 40-year-old man in a different part of the city, and numerous other non-fatal shootings were reported. This series of violent events highlighted a period of intense gun violence that plagued Baltimore.
The investigation into Deric Garrison's murder was launched by the Baltimore Police Department. Authorities have been actively seeking information from the public to help identify who was responsible for his death. However, despite their ongoing efforts, the case has grown cold. To date, there have been no arrests made, and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with the shooting. The community continues to await answers and seek justice for the young man whose life was taken that night.
