In the spring of 2012, the streets of Baltimore were marked by a series of violent encounters, one of which claimed the life of 28-year-old Shavar Little. A Black male, Little was gunned down on the evening of Tuesday, May 8, 2012. The shooting occurred in the area of the 1900 block of Aisquith Street and the 1100 block of East 20th Street. After being shot, Little was transported to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
At the time of his death, it was reported that Shavar Little had a significant criminal history, which included several arrests for armed robbery and a conviction related to an attempted murder charge. His killing was one of several homicides that occurred in Baltimore that week, contributing to a grim tally of violence in the city.
In the years that have passed since Shavar Little's death, there has been a lingering silence regarding the investigation into who was responsible for his murder. Publicly available information and news archives from the time of the incident and in the subsequent years have not revealed any updates on potential suspects or arrests made in connection with the case. The circumstances surrounding his shooting remain unresolved, and his death is considered an unsolved homicide. The narrative of that violent spring evening in Baltimore, which ended a young man's life, remains incomplete, with no one having been held accountable for the crime.
