Donta Lavon Sampson, 45, was fatally shot on the morning of July 18, 2021, in the 800 block of West Lexington Street in Baltimore. Police found him with gunshot wounds around 10:31 a.m.; he was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Investigators worked the case for months, and in June 2022 authorities arrested 22-year-old Keonteze Montgomery in the 500 block of North Curley Street. Montgomery was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Sampson’s death and booked into the Central Booking Intake Facility. Prosecutors later offered a plea in October 2022 that would have resulted in life with all but 65 years suspended plus five years supervised probation for first-degree murder and use of a firearm during a felony violent crime; Montgomery and his attorney rejected that offer and a trial was set for March 2023.

Are there details about Sampson’s movements that morning or witnesses who saw anything on West Lexington Street that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
