On a late summer afternoon, the life of 24-year-old Bobby Mack was tragically cut short by gun violence in the Curtis Bay neighborhood of Baltimore. The fatal shooting occurred on September 3, 2018, around 5:00 p.m. in the 1500 block of Plum Street. Responding officers found Mack with gunshot wounds, and he was rushed to a nearby hospital where he later died from his injuries.
This senseless act of violence marked another life lost on the streets of Baltimore and left a family mourning the loss of their only son.
In the wake of the homicide, the Baltimore Police Department launched an investigation and quickly identified a person of interest. Detectives were able to secure video surveillance from the area that captured footage of the suspected shooter. The individual was described as an African-American male in his late teens to early-to-mid-twenties, with a slim build and a close-cropped haircut. Authorities released the video to the public in hopes of generating leads, which showed the suspect both discharging a firearm and, at another point, talking on a cellphone at a gas station in the vicinity.
Despite the available footage and a detailed description of the suspect, who is believed to frequent the South Baltimore and Curtis Bay areas, no arrests in the murder of Bobby Mack have been publicly announced. The Baltimore Police Department urged anyone with information to come forward, offering the possibility of a cash reward for tips leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible. The case serves as a somber reminder of the unsolved acts of violence that continue to affect the city.
