Shamal Scott, 25, was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head on the afternoon of April 3, 2022, in the 2200 block of Cedley Street in Baltimore. Police pronounced him dead at the scene; his death was one of three fatal shootings in the city that day.

A few months earlier, Baltimore police had identified Scott as a second suspect in a January 23, 2022, robbery spree that ended with the shooting death of Chesley Patterson, the general manager of a Little Italy restaurant. That investigation led to the arrest of 22-year-old Samuel Wise Jr., who was charged in Patterson’s death. There have been no public announcements of suspects or arrests in Scott’s killing, and officials have not publicly detailed the circumstances linking his death to the earlier case.

Anyone with information about the April 3 shooting on Cedley Street is asked to contact the Baltimore Police Department.
