As a family member of Brian and Darrin, I am looking into the holes in this situation.

On the evening of August 5, 2021, gunfire broke out on the 4300 block of Flowerton Road in Southwest Baltimore. Police arriving about 8:20 p.m. found two men inside a vehicle, both unconscious with multiple gunshot wounds. The victims were identified as 26-year-old Brian Christopher Palmer and his 33-year-old cousin, Darrin Tyrell Stewart. Both were taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where they later died.

Investigators determined the men had been lured to that location under the pretense of a drug transaction. Texts on Palmer’s phone arranged the meeting with 20-year-old Raekwon Montre Griffin, and Griffin’s cell phone data placed him at the scene. Griffin disconnected his number 12 minutes after the shooting. The getaway vehicle, a 2008 Subaru sedan, was recovered the next day with Palmer’s handgun and cell phone inside.

Raekwon Griffin and 22-year-old Montay Daris Shuler were arrested in October 2021 and charged with murder. Victims’ mothers spoke at sentencing hearings. Does anyone have information about Brian’s movements or contacts on August 5, 2021?
