On a cold December night in 2016, the life of 26-year-old Gregory Riddick was cut short in a hail of gunfire that also claimed the life of another man and left four others wounded. The male victim’s death on December 10th unfolded in the Northeast district of Baltimore, a city grappling with persistent violence.
The fatal attack occurred outside a convenience store in the 2700 block of Harford Road.
In the aftermath of the shooting, Riddick was also reportedly struck by a vehicle in a hit-and-run incident. He and the second victim, Ricardo Grimes, aged 37, succumbed to their injuries. The four other victims of the shooting, who sustained non-life-threatening injuries, included two 28-year-old men, a 23-year-old man, and a 20-year-old woman.
In the days following the violent outburst, Baltimore police announced the arrests of two suspects. Dion Dorsey and Marquise Cains were taken into custody and faced a litany of charges, including first-degree murder, for their alleged roles in the deadly shooting. The motive for the shooting was not immediately released by authorities. The resolution of the legal proceedings against Dorsey and Cains is not detailed in the available information.
