In the late hours of a Thursday night in May 2015, a tragedy unfolded in Annapolis, Maryland, that cut short the life of 39-year-old Lamont Scurry. A male resident of Glen Burnie, Scurry was discovered in a parking lot situated in the 900 block of President Street within the Harbour House community. He had sustained a single, fatal gunshot wound to the head. The call reporting the incident came in at approximately 11:27 p.m., prompting a swift response from the Annapolis Police Department.
Despite being rushed to the Anne Arundel Medical Center, his injuries proved too severe, and he was pronounced dead.
The news of Scurry’s violent death sent ripples of shock and grief through his community and among his colleagues. Remembered as a hardworking father to his children, his friends and coworkers struggled to comprehend why he would be in that particular neighborhood or who would have reason to harm him. They described him as a family man who was not known to be involved in any illicit activities. In the immediate aftermath, law enforcement officials had little information to share regarding a potential motive or any person of interest.
As the investigation into the city's first homicide of the year commenced, the Annapolis Police Department appealed to the public for assistance, offering a reward for any information that could lead to an arrest. Detectives began the arduous process of piecing together the events of that fateful night, but no suspects were immediately identified. In the years that have followed, there has been no public announcement of any arrests made or charges filed in connection with the murder of Lamont Scurry, leaving his case unresolved and his loved ones without answers.
