On the evening of August 12, 2022, 24-year-old William Ferebee was fatally shot while sitting in a parked vehicle in the 4000 block of Wabash Avenue in Baltimore. The attack, at about 8:33 p.m., also killed 23-year-old Leion Davis Jr. An eyewitness saw a red, four-door vehicle with tinted windows flee the scene after gunfire. Investigators recovered 25 9mm and .40 caliber casings outside the victims’ vehicle and three .40 caliber casings inside.

Police traced the getaway to Datuan Blanchard, who was identified as the driver for the group that carried out the killings. The red 2008 Acura used as the getaway car was reported stolen by a woman shortly after the murders; she later admitted she had made a false report at Blanchard’s instruction and that Blanchard confessed to her three days after the killings, saying he and two associates had carried out the double homicide. Historical cell phone records reportedly placed Blanchard’s phone near the scene minutes before the shootings and far away shortly after; the getaway vehicle was later found burned in the 1200 block of N. Franklintown Road.

Ferebee was his mother’s only child and was remembered as someone who loved sports and hoped to own a landscaping business. Does anyone have information about the night of August 12, 2022, or about Ferebee’s life in Baltimore?
