Jeremy Hall, 24, a Black man, was killed on August 22, 2017, in Baltimore, Maryland, after violence found him in broad daylight on the city’s streets. In the early afternoon, his life ended on the 3700 block of Fleetwood Avenue, in a shooting that would be counted among Baltimore’s relentless tally of homicides that year.
Police were first dispatched around 12:30 p.m., and what sounded like a routine call quickly turned into something far darker.
Officers arrived to find Hall inside a vehicle, wounded by gunfire to the upper body, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. In at least one account, police had initially been responding to a report of a vehicle accident—an ordinary-sounding report that masked the reality waiting at the curb.
As detectives began piecing together the hours and moments before the shooting, early information offered only a rough outline of motive. Investigators indicated the killing may have been drug-related, but public reporting from the time did not name a suspect or describe a clear sequence leading to the shots. In the wake of the homicide, police urged anyone with information to come forward, pointing tipsters toward the department and Metro Crime Stoppers as they searched for the person—or people—responsible.
In the days that followed, the paper trail of Hall’s death shifted from crime-scene tape and detective work to remembrance. Funeral arrangements were handled through Gardens of Faith Memorial Gardens, with online notices reflecting his birth date and the date he died; a burial listing also places him at Gardens of Faith Cemetery in Rosedale, in Baltimore County. Publicly available accounts tied to the killing itself do not describe an arrest, charges, or a court case connected to Hall’s shooting.
