In the early hours of a Saturday morning in the fall of 2013, the life of Robert Jackson, a 34-year-old Black man, was tragically cut short on a street in Northwest Baltimore. On September 21st, at approximately 2:15 a.m., police responded to the 5400 block of Crismer Avenue, where they discovered Jackson suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Paramedics arrived at the scene, but Jackson's injuries were too severe, and he was pronounced dead.
The initial investigation by the Baltimore Police Department treated his death as a homicide. Authorities at the time urged anyone with information regarding the shooting to come forward and contact homicide detectives.
Despite the initial appeal for public assistance, the case of Robert Jackson's murder grew cold. Information regarding any potential suspects or arrests in the years following his death has not been publicly released. His case is now considered a cold case, one of the many unsolved homicides in the city of Baltimore. The Baltimore Police Department continues to list the case as an open investigation.
