In the fading light of a Tuesday afternoon in Baltimore, the life of 20-year-old Quinton Jermaine Heard was cut short by gunfire. On October 27, 2015, at approximately 5:10 p.m., the young Black male was found on the 1500 block of Rutland Avenue. The cause of his death was determined to be a shooting.
Details surrounding the circumstances of the shooting and what may have led to it are not readily available in public online sources.
Information regarding any potential suspects or arrests in the years following the incident has not been released. The case remains one of many unsolved homicides in the city, leaving a void of information and unanswered questions for a grieving family and community.
Online records also point to another man from Baltimore named Quinton Jermaine Heard, who in 2022 at the age of 46, was serving a life sentence for a homicide committed in 1996. It is important to distinguish that this individual is separate from the young man whose life was tragically ended in 2015. The investigation into the death of 20-year-old Quinton Jermaine Heard remains without a publicly identified suspect or resolution.
