On a tragic day in Baltimore, what was a mother's birthday became a day of eternal rest for her son. Jasmon S. Jiggetts, known to many as Timmy, was fatally shot on Thursday, April 23, 2009. The 28-year-old African-American man was found by authorities in the 1600 block of East Eager Street, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Despite immediate medical attention, he was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was one of many that contributed to the city's high homicide rate that year.
Born on August 10, 1980, Jasmon was a twin and a beloved father to five children. He was a graduate of Northwestern High School and was attending Tesst College to become an electrician at the time of his passing. Known for his love for his family, he had a passion for swimming and took it upon himself to teach his entire family, including his young daughters. He was also an avid football and basketball fan.
The investigation into Jasmon Jiggetts' murder remains unsolved. In the years following his death, authorities have been unable to publicly identify any suspects, and no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting. The case is listed in the Project Cold Case database, a resource for unsolved homicides, with the Baltimore Police Department heading the investigation. Anyone with information regarding the case is encouraged to come forward.
