On New Year's Day in 2018, the life of 16-year-old Andre Galloway was tragically cut short, marking him as Baltimore's first homicide victim of the year. The young man, a student at Frederick Douglass High School and The SEED School of Maryland, was discovered in the 2000 block of Eagle Street with a gunshot wound to his neck at approximately 3:40 p.m.
Emergency responders transported him to a local shock trauma center, but his injuries proved fatal.
Known affectionately as 'Dre,' Andre was described as a respectful young man with a gentle spirit and a contagious smile. He was a devoted son and shared a close, unbreakable bond with his sister.
In the wake of the shooting, Baltimore Police launched an investigation into the death of the male teenager. Authorities appealed to the public for any information that might lead to the apprehension of those responsible for this violent act. Information available does not indicate that any arrests have been made or that any suspects have been publicly identified in connection with the murder of Andre Galloway. The case, like many others, highlights the ongoing issue of gun violence in the city and the profound impact it has on the community and the families of victims.
