The discovery was made on the morning of March 13, around 11:13 a.m., in the 3700 block of Potee Street. Responding to a call about an unresponsive person, Baltimore Police patrol officers arrived at the scene to find Ms. Smallwood with evident trauma to her body.
She was pronounced dead at the location.
The following day, the Medical Examiner's office officially ruled her death a homicide. Further reports from the Baltimore Police Department later confirmed that Smallwood had been shot and killed. The tragic event added to a concerning string of violent incidents that had plagued Baltimore in the preceding months.
