On a late summer evening in Baltimore, tragedy struck Andre Leroy Washington Jr. Just two days after his 29th birthday, on September 4, 2016, he was shot and killed in the 2300 block of Wilkens Avenue. The incident, which also wounded two other individuals, was one of several multiple-victim shootings that occurred over a violent Labor Day weekend in the city.
Andre, born in Baltimore on September 2, 1987, was a lifelong resident of the city where he worked as a contractor.
His sudden death was a shock to his family, which included his parents, stepparents, and siblings. He was remembered as a cherished member of his family and community.
In the aftermath of the shooting, details about the investigation, including any potential suspects or arrests, have not been made publicly available through online sources. His death was one of 318 homicides in Baltimore in 2016, a year marked by a significant level of violence in the city. The lack of available information on suspects or arrests is not uncommon for homicides that occurred during this period of heightened crime. As of now, the case remains without a public resolution.
