Quintin Fredrick Manuel Jr. was 23 when he was fatally shot in East Baltimore on July 18, 2022. The shooting occurred at 1 North Spring Street and was recorded as one of the victims during a year that pushed Baltimore toward more than 300 murders; his death helped bring the city past 200 homicides shortly afterward.

Friends called him Q and said he was working toward a better future, reportedly pursuing work in the construction industry. A friend, Tony Brown, said Quintin was in the wrong place at the wrong time, reflecting the randomness described around much of the city’s gun violence that summer.

No arrests or suspects have been identified publicly and authorities have not released a motive. If anyone knew Quintin, saw activity near 1 North Spring Street on July 18, 2022, or has information about this shooting, please come forward.
