Linda Burnette Dennis was 70 and lived alone on Queensberry Avenue in the Pimlico neighborhood of Northwest Baltimore. Neighbors described her as a retiree who kept to herself, formerly employed caring for seniors and later working with children. Her routine was limited; she rarely left home except for small tasks like taking out the trash.

On the morning of Thursday, March 3, 2022, police responding to a wellness check found Ms. Dennis just outside her back door, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Family members later said she had recently expressed fears for her safety, had mentioned problems with people in the neighborhood, and had been planning to hire a locksmith to change her locks.

Baltimore Police opened a homicide investigation. City officials and Metro Crime Stoppers offered a combined reward of $16,000 for information leading to an arrest and charges, but no suspects or arrests have been publicly identified. Did anyone in Pimlico notice unusual activity around March 3, 2022, or know more about Ms. Dennis’s concerns in the days before her death?
