In the early evening of June 21, 2016, a recent graduate of Morgan State University, 25-year-old Christopher Collins, was fatally shot in Baltimore, Maryland. The incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. in the 1300 block of Glenwood Avenue in Northeast Baltimore. Collins was reportedly inside his car when he was shot multiple times.
Emergency responders transported him to a local hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries.
At the time of the shooting, it was still daylight, and investigators believed there were likely witnesses in the area. Collins had just celebrated his 25th birthday a week prior and had graduated from Morgan State University in May with a degree in sociology. His family described him as a charismatic and driven young man with a bright future, and they made public pleas for anyone with information to come forward to assist the police.
Despite the ongoing investigation by the Baltimore Police Department and the family's appeals for help from the community, no arrests have been publicly announced in connection with the murder of Christopher Collins. There have been no reports identifying any suspect or suspects in his death. The case is one of many unsolved homicides in Baltimore.
