Shortly after 3:29 a.m. on October 27, 2022, officers answered a shooting call in the 3300 block of Annapolis Road in Baltimore’s southern district and found a man with numerous life-threatening gunshot wounds. The victim was identified as 39-year-old David Rodriguez Ramirez. Medics attempted life-saving measures, but Ramirez was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives took over the investigation and spent more than a year working the case. Their inquiries led to the arrest of 24-year-old Gerson Arita Diaz of Baltimore; on November 2, 2023, Diaz was taken into custody and charged with 1st-degree murder in connection with Ramirez’s death.

If anyone has information about what happened on Annapolis Road that morning or knew David Ramirez, please share what can help the investigation.
