Eric Plater, 35, was killed in Baltimore in the early morning of August 15, 2022. He was found in the 300 block of Park Avenue with a single gunshot wound to the chest; medics first thought he might be overdosing, but he was taken to a trauma center and died about three hours later.

Investigators focused on 44-year-old barber shop owner Donte Simms after surveillance video showed him stepping over Plater’s body twice to place items in his vehicle, then locking his shop and leaving. Witnesses told police Simms denied involvement at the scene. Prosecutors say a witness tied Simms and Plater together in a drug-related dispute over money that led to the shooting; the defense claimed self-defense and challenged that witness’s credibility.

Does anyone have information about Plater’s movements that night or about the barber shop on Park Avenue?
