Curtis Knox, a 41-year-old man from Baltimore, Maryland, died after a shooting in South Baltimore’s Federal Hill area in the early morning hours of June 6, 2026. Police said officers were called to the 1000 block of South Hanover Street, near West Hamburg Street, at about 2:50 a.m. for a report of shots fired. When they arrived, they found three people suffering from gunshot wounds.
Knox was taken to an area hospital, but he did not survive his injuries.
The shooting unfolded in a busy part of Federal Hill, an area known for late-night activity around bars, restaurants, and nearby businesses. Two other victims, described by police as 35 and 40 years old, were also shot and transported for medical care. Their injuries were reported as non-life-threatening. Knox, however, became the fatal victim in what police treated as a triple shooting investigation.
In the days after the shooting, Baltimore Police publicly identified Knox as the person killed and asked for help from the public. Investigators released images of two women they wanted to identify in connection with the case, and later released another photo tied to the investigation. Police did not publicly describe the women as charged suspects in the available reports; they were described as people investigators were trying to locate or identify in connection with the deadly shooting.
As of the available online reports, no arrests had been announced in Curtis Knox’s killing. Police continued asking anyone with information about the shooting, the women shown in the released images, or the circumstances surrounding the incident to contact homicide detectives or Metro Crime Stoppers. The case remained an active investigation, with authorities still working to determine who opened fire and what led to the violence that left Knox dead and two other men wounded.
Outside of the police investigation, online memorial notices identified him as Curtis Lee Knox and said he entered into eternal life on June 6, 2026. Those notices listed Baltimore as his home and gave his birth date as March 9, 1985, confirming that he was 41 at the time of his death. The public record available online does not provide a confirmed ethnicity for Knox.
