In the early morning hours of March 12, 2022, Olen Smith Jr., 39, was ambushed and shot multiple times while leaving Mo’s Seafood on Stiles Street in Baltimore’s Little Italy. First responders found him unresponsive in the roadway in the 800 block of Stiles Street; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The killing was part of a violent weekend in the city.

Investigators focused on surveillance footage, ballistic evidence, and cell phone data as they probed the attack. A .45-caliber handgun recovered at a residence was linked by ballistics to shell casings from the scene. Prosecutors later charged a 26-year-old man from Owings Mills in connection with the case, alleging he and two others stalked Smith outside the restaurant before chasing and opening fire.

Reports say prosecutors also pointed to material on a phone and an allegedly incriminating text sent shortly after the shooting. The defense disputed aspects of the investigation, including how leads were handled. Does anyone have information about Smith’s movements that night or saw activity around Mo’s Seafood on March 12, 2022?
