Justin Prestia, 29, was found fatally shot on January 7, 2022, in the 1900 block of Lanvale Street in Baltimore. His death was recorded among the city’s homicides for that year and prompted a police investigation; a $4,000 reward was offered for information leading to a break in the case.

No information has been released about suspects or arrests, and the circumstances around the shooting remain largely unexplained. Prestia had faced a major federal indictment in 2019 as one of 16 people accused in an alleged drug trafficking organization; that 116-count indictment included charges of murder and conspiracy to kidnap, but reports do not specify Prestia’s role and it is not known whether the prior indictment is related to his killing.

Anyone with information about the January 7 shooting or who knew Justin is asked to come forward.
