Tony Dewitt, 52, was shot dead on the evening of July 22, 2022, on the 1600 block of Montpelier Street in Baltimore. Police responded to a shot spotter alert; medics pronounced Dewitt deceased at the scene and the Baltimore Police Department’s homicide unit opened an investigation.

Dewitt had a complicated legal history. He was convicted and given a life sentence for a 2002 murder, but that conviction was overturned and he was released in 2015. Questions later arose about the document that secured his freedom; a federal judge dismissed a civil suit he brought against the Baltimore Police Department after finding evidence of fraud.

No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified in connection with Dewitt’s killing, and authorities have not released a motive or detailed circumstances leading up to the shooting. If anyone has information about Dewitt in Baltimore or the events of July 22, 2022, please come forward.
