On the evening of April 28, 2022, a dispute in Northeast Baltimore ended with 19-year-old Adrian Morris shot in the chest in the 5300 block of Belair Road. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries. The preliminary investigation identified 21-year-old Terrill Johnson as the suspected shooter; police said the shooting followed an argument between Johnson and Morris at about 7:35 p.m.

During the case, the defense said Johnson acted in self-defense after Morris allegedly threatened him, his girlfriend, his baby, and another young boy, and after an encounter that began inside a liquor store over a reported $10 drug-related debt. The prosecution relied on video they said did not show Morris reaching into his satchel and noted Johnson was legally barred from possessing a firearm because of a prior conviction.

A jury reached verdicts in April 2023: Johnson was found not guilty of second-degree murder but guilty of voluntary manslaughter and three weapons-related charges. If anyone knew Adrian Morris or has information about the night of April 28, 2022, please come forward.
