In the early morning hours of September 16, 2012, the life of 20-year-old Clarence Ross, a male, was irrevocably altered inside a Baltimore bar. At approximately 1:50 a.m., in an establishment on the 200 block of S. Pulaski Street, Ross was shot in the head. First responders arrived to a scene of chaos and found Ross gravely wounded. He was quickly transported to Johns Hopkins Hospital to fight for his life.
For six days, Clarence Ross clung to life, but his injuries proved to be too
severe. On September 22, 2012, he succumbed to the gunshot wound and was pronounced dead. His death was classified as a homicide, launching an investigation by the Baltimore Police Department. Detectives began to piece together the events of that tragic night, turning their attention to the evidence available.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, investigators recovered video surveillance from inside the bar. From this footage, they were able to identify two individuals they labeled as persons of interest. The Baltimore Police Department publicly released images of these two individuals, seeking the public's assistance in identifying them. Despite this initial lead, information regarding whether these persons of interest were ever located or if any suspects were formally arrested and charged in the murder of Clarence Ross has not been made publicly available. The case is listed as a cold case with the Baltimore Police Department.
