Gerald Caldwell Martin, a 64-year-old man from Bladensburg, Maryland, was shot around 1:00 p.m. on October 15, 2001, in the 5800 block of Annapolis Road.
Online records that track gun-violence deaths list October 15, 2001 as the date he was lost to gun violence in Bladensburg, but another online record ties that same October 15, 2001 shooting to a later death date of February 10, 2006—suggesting the gunshot wounds he suffered on Annapolis Road set in motion a long, grim aftermath that
did not end immediately.
Publicly available online sources located for this case do not name a suspect, describe a motive, or report any arrests, charges, trials, or convictions connected to the shooting and its fatal outcome.
