Barry Ransom was 21 and a junior studying accounting at Morgan State University when he was shot and killed on the evening of October 25, 2021, in the parking lot of The Shops at Kenilworth in Towson, Maryland. The meeting had been arranged as a planned sale of marijuana; Ransom drove to the location with two friends. A 22-year-old man identified later as Kevin Sharp entered their vehicle and produced a handgun. During a struggle inside the car Ransom was shot in the arm, and as he tried to flee he was shot again in the back. The suspect then took a backpack and a wallet and ran off on foot.

Responding officers found the car running and located Ransom in a nearby wooded area where he was able to call for help. He was taken to a hospital and died from his injuries. Investigators recovered surveillance footage and phone records, traced the suspect to an apartment near the scene, and recovered items belonging to Ransom and his friends. An arrest followed and the suspect was charged with first-degree murder. Friends and family described Ransom, a Philadelphia native, as studious, caring and loving.
