On the evening of January 16, 2021, a burst of gunfire in the 4100 block of Frederick Avenue in Southwest Baltimore killed 21-year-old Markeese Stanford. Stanford, a Black male, was found by police suffering from gunshot wounds; emergency services responded but his injuries were fatal.

His death was recorded amid a series of homicides in Baltimore in early 2021 and was noted on online memorial pages. Beyond that public acknowledgement, details about the shooting’s circumstances, the status of any police investigation, and whether there are suspects or arrests have not been publicly shared.

Does anyone in the community have information about Markeese Stanford, where he spent time, or what happened that night?
