Courtney Campbell, 34, was fatally shot around 11:30 a.m. on March 25, 2022, on the 3800 block of West Belvedere Avenue in Baltimore. Officers found him outside the Bel Park Towers apartment building with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead less than an hour later.

Police identified 30-year-old Marcus Harris as a suspect; Harris contacted police after the shooting, admitted involvement, surrendered at his apartment, and was taken into custody. The firearm believed to have been used in the shooting was recovered and Harris was charged with first-degree murder and held without bail.

Campbell’s obituary remembered him for a big smile, a protective nature, and a dream of mentoring young men who had lost fathers early. He enjoyed writing poems and short songs and hoped to publish a book of poetry. If anyone knew Courtney, his habits, or observed activity around Bel Park Towers that morning, please come forward with information.
