On a summer evening in Baltimore, the life of 39-year-old Johnny Timmons, a Black male, was cut short by gunfire. On July 12, 2016, police responded to a report of a double shooting in the 2800 block of Ashland Avenue. Arriving at the scene, officers discovered two men inside a black Acura, both suffering from gunshot wounds. One of the victims was Johnny Timmons, who did not survive his injuries.
The incident was one of many acts of violence that plagued the city that year.
Despite the initial police investigation into the double shooting, publicly available information regarding the circumstances of Timmons' death is scarce. Details about a possible motive, the identity of the second victim and their condition, and any potential suspects have not been widely reported in the years following the event.
As time has passed, the case of Johnny Timmons's death has remained without a public resolution. There have been no subsequent announcements from law enforcement officials regarding any arrests made or suspects identified in connection with the shooting. The narrative of that fatal evening on Ashland Avenue is incomplete, leaving questions about the events that led to the death of Johnny Timmons unanswered. The investigation into his death remains one of Baltimore's unsolved homicides from 2016.
