Bernard Jackson II, 56, was shot and killed during a dispute in southwest Baltimore on the late night of June 11 or the early hours of June 12, 2022. Officers responding to the 3600 block of West Lexington Street found Jackson with multiple gunshot wounds; he died at the scene. He was a Black male.

Police identified 47-year-old Clifton Curtis Hodges as a suspect, and investigators say the shooting arose from a dispute over a woman. Jackson had reportedly returned to the location to retrieve a cell phone he had left behind, accompanied by a female witness. Authorities allege Hodges emerged and opened fire on the vehicle Jackson occupied, killing Jackson while the witness was unharmed.

Hodges was located and taken into custody and charged with first- and second-degree murder plus assault and firearm offenses; he was held without bond pending trial. The female witness’s planned testimony was described as central to the prosecution. Is there anyone who knew Bernard or who saw or heard anything that night who can help fill gaps in the timeline?
