Kalen Nathaniel Black was 21 when he was shot and killed in his Hagerstown, Maryland, home in the early morning hours of December 15, 2020. Deputies responded to a 911 call about a shooting at a Fair Oaks Court residence around 4:30 a.m. and found Black with a life-threatening gunshot wound; medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting followed an earlier dispute. Authorities allege 35-year-old Lauron Zacherie Hoyle of Montgomery Village came to the residence, opened fire on Black inside the home, then fled. Hoyle was located at his Montgomery Village home later that day with assistance from the Montgomery County Police Department and arrested just before 3:30 p.m. He was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and 17 additional assault and firearm-related counts and was held without bond.

Does anyone have information about the dispute that led to this shooting or about Kalen’s activities that night?
