Sai Charan Nakka was 25 and had been living and working in Baltimore as a software engineer for about two years when he was killed on June 19, 2022. He was found inside his 2022 silver Hyundai Tucson on the shoulder of southbound I-95 near the Caton Avenue exit in the early morning hours after an initial single-vehicle collision call around 4:30 a.m. Responding Maryland Transportation Authority Police officers discovered he had suffered a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to the University of Maryland R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center and was pronounced dead shortly after 6:30 a.m.

The death was quickly classified as a suspected homicide. Early reports said an unidentified Black man may have opened fire on the vehicle. The Baltimore Police Department homicide unit has taken the lead and authorities have asked the public for any information about suspicious activity or sightings of Nakka or his vehicle around the time of the attack. Nakka was originally from the Nalgonda district of Telangana, India; his father is a retired teacher and his family in India has been described as devastated by the loss.

Are there any witnesses or dashcam footage from I-95 near Caton Avenue around 4:30 a.m. on June 19, 2022 that could help investigators?
