In the spring of 2012, the life of Andre Curry Jr., a 28-year-old Black/African American man, was tragically cut short on the streets of Baltimore, Maryland. On the evening of Thursday, May 24, 2012, violence erupted in the 2600 block of East Preston Street, resulting in a triple shooting. Andre Curry Jr. was the sole fatality in this incident.
Details surrounding the specific circumstances of the shooting remain scarce in public records.
The incident was one of several violent acts that occurred in the city around that time. While information about the other two victims of the shooting is not readily available, it is known that Curry's death was ruled a homicide. Online records from the time indicate that he had a prior criminal record, with convictions for drug-related offenses, though he had reportedly not had any new arrests since 2007.
The investigation into the murder of Andre Curry Jr. appears to have gone cold, with no publicly available information regarding any suspects or arrests in the years that have followed. A 2012 list of Baltimore City homicide victims notes his death but lists no one under the heading of who he was murdered by, suggesting that the case remains unsolved. The silence in the public record leaves a void in the narrative of that fatal spring evening, and for the family and friends of Andre Curry Jr., the quest for justice continues.
