Wayne Archer was 33 when he was found shot on the 2200 block of Garrison Blvd in Baltimore on the morning of December 10, 2020. Known in some circles as Weezy or Danny Ragz, Archer was discovered with a gunshot wound to his upper body at about 11:51 a.m. and died after being taken to a trauma center.

Investigators later identified 39-year-old Eric Morris as a suspect after an FBI special agent located Morris’s Instagram account under the nickname Eazy, prompting a social media search warrant. A firearm recovered in an unrelated arrest was potentially matched to the weapon used in Archer’s killing, and prosecutors said the shooting grew out of a drug dispute; Archer had handed a black satchel that contained marijuana, a handgun, and a cellphone to a female acquaintance before the shooting.

Morris pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison with all but 25 years suspended, followed by five years of supervised probation. Archer’s family spoke at sentencing about the impact of his death, including his daughter’s hospitalization after the loss. Did anyone in the community recognize Archer by his stage names or recall seeing him in the area that morning?
