In the autumn of 2016, the life of Eric Lamount Wilkins, a 44-year-old Black man, was tragically cut short in Baltimore, Maryland. On September 14, 2016, he was discovered murdered inside a home located in the 3100 block of Reisterstown Road. The discovery sent ripples of concern through the community, as another life was claimed by violence in the city.
Details surrounding the circumstances of his death have remained scarce in the public domain. It is known that Mr.
Wilkins was a familiar presence in his community, often seen in the areas around the 7-Eleven on Liberty Heights Avenue, the local Dollar store, and the Target at Mondawmin Mall.
