In the summer of 2024, a shooting in Northwest Baltimore led to the death of 28-year-old Donovan Fletcher, a Black male. The incident unfolded on the afternoon of May 31, 2024, in the 5300 block of Cordelia Avenue. Fletcher, along with a 25-year-old male and a 25-year-old female, sustained gunshot wounds.
Following the shooting, the three victims were located by Baltimore Police Department officers in the 3800 block of Hayward Avenue at approximately 3:22 p.m.
They were all transported to a local hospital. Initially, their injuries were not considered to be life-threatening. However, Donovan Fletcher's condition worsened, and he ultimately succumbed to his injuries on July 2, 2024. His case was then classified as a homicide.
As of late 2024, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests or the identification of any suspects in connection with the shooting. The Baltimore Police Department's Northwest District Shooting detectives are continuing to investigate the triple shooting and Fletcher's subsequent death. Authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward and contact them or to provide anonymous tips through the Metro Crime Stoppers hotline or website.
