On a Friday evening, January 6, 2012, Doral Hinton, a 27-year-old male, was walking home from a store in the 2400 block of Ashland Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. His journey was tragically cut short when he was shot. Despite being rushed to Johns Hopkins Hospital, Hinton succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
The incident was one of four separate shootings that occurred in Baltimore City that weekend, resulting in two fatalities.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, authorities reported that there were no established motives and no suspects had been identified in connection with Doral Hinton's death.
An encounter with a tall, thin African American man wearing a hoodie was reported to have occurred around the time of the shooting, though the exact details of what transpired remain unclear. At the time of the reports, no arrests had been made in the case. An obituary for Doral Hinton confirmed his date of death and announced funeral services to be held the following week.
