A shooting on April 2, 2019, on the 1400 block of West Fayette Street left 37-year-old Jaquan Purvis with multiple gunshot wounds. Officers found him after a Shot Spotter alert and he was taken to the University of Maryland’s Shock Trauma Center for treatment of serious injuries.

An investigation identified and led to the arrest of Jamie Vaughn; on October 28, 2019, Vaughn pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree murder, firearm use in a violent crime, and carrying a handgun, and was sentenced for the role in the 2019 shooting. Purvis lived with lasting health complications from that attack and on May 23, 2021, he died. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide, finding it was caused by complications of the 2019 shooting.

If anyone knew Purvis, where he was between the 2019 shooting and his death, or has information about the long-term harm he suffered, please share what you know.
