Malik Baker was 24 when he was shot and killed outside an Exxon on McClean Boulevard in Parkville, Maryland, in the early morning hours of October 30, 2022. Family described him as a lovable, happy young man and a graduate of Milford Mill High School who was building a life for himself.

According to investigators, two masked people arrived in a Honda Accord with temporary tags, emerged from the car and approached Malik as he stood outside his vehicle. A brief struggle followed and one of the assailants fatally shot him; the suspects then fled in the same car. Police released surveillance footage and suggested the incident may have been an attempted carjacking, though Malik’s family questioned that motive and believed it more likely was an attempted robbery. No arrests have been announced and the homicide investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or recognizes the people or the vehicle seen in the surveillance footage, please share what is known with Baltimore County Police.
