Antwan Jamal Bryant, a 21-year-old Black man, died on July 31, 2012, in Baltimore, Maryland. Friends and family remembered him by the nickname “Moody,” and the life they described began in the same city where it ended—born February 13, 1991, to Betty Johnson and the late Bennie Bryant, Sr.
Publicly available records about what happened in the final hours of his life are sparse. The funeral notice confirms the date of death but does not describe the circumstances.
Still, independent, publicly maintained Baltimore homicide victim lists include an “Antwan Bryant” on July 31, 2012, and place that death at the West Side Shopping Center in the 2400 block of Frederick Avenue. Those lists do not include a middle name, and they conflict on age, so they cannot, on their own, definitively establish that the homicide listing and the funeral notice refer to the exact same person.
What those homicide lists do make clear is what they do not contain: no named suspect, no narrative of motive, no public timeline of an investigation, and no mention of an arrest, charge, trial, or conviction connected to that entry. In the material available from these sources, there is no publicly documented suspect information or case outcome to report.
