On a Tuesday evening in Baltimore, Maryland, the life of 42-year-old Angelo West, a Black/African American male, was tragically cut short. On September 26, 2017, West was a victim of a quadruple shooting in the Northeast part of the city. The incident, which unfolded that night, resulted in the death of another man, 39-year-old Charles Hamilton, and left two other individuals wounded.
Born on September 23, 1975, Angelo West was a father and a resident of Baltimore.
He was remembered by loved ones for his sense of humor and caring nature. His untimely death was part of a surge of gun violence that plagued the city that year. In the days following the shooting, community advocates and organizations mourned the loss of West and Hamilton, highlighting the devastating impact of gun violence on families and the city as a whole.
Despite the public outcry and police investigation into the quadruple shooting, information regarding any suspects or arrests in the case has not been made publicly available. News reports and official statements at the time of the incident and in the years that have followed have not named any persons of interest or detailed any breakthroughs in the investigation. The case of who was responsible for the deaths of Angelo West and Charles Hamilton remains without a public resolution, leaving a painful void for their families and community.
