Ephraim Gordon, 31, an Israeli man visiting Baltimore for a cousin’s wedding, was shot and killed just after midnight on May 3, 2021, on the doorstep of his aunt and uncle’s home in the 3700 block of Fords Lane. He had just parked his car when several people approached in what police described as an attempted robbery and carjacking; Gordon was found with a gunshot wound to the torso and died at a local hospital.

Baltimore Police used video surveillance and physical evidence to identify multiple suspects. Within a month three teenagers were arrested: 18-year-old William Clinton III, a 17-year-old male, and a 16-year-old male. A fourth suspect, William Holloman, then 16, was later identified and charged with the cooperation of the other defendants. Authorities said the attack began as a robbery that escalated.

All four charged in Gordon’s death were ultimately held accountable through plea deals and trial outcomes, with the defendants convicted or pleading to first-degree murder. Does anyone have additional insight into the events on Fords Lane that night or knew Ephraim during his visit?
