On November 21, 2020, 21-year-old Diamond Davis and her longtime boyfriend, 20-year-old Pedro Chesley were shot and killed in the 700 block of Grantley Avenue in Baltimore. Diamond’s family remembered her as vibrant and full of promise; her father said the family had been robbed of watching her grow into a woman and a mother. Diamond suffered five gunshot wounds and Pedro six.

Police say the violence began with a social media dispute. Reports indicate the girlfriend of one of the suspects arranged to meet Diamond for a physical fight. That meeting allegedly escalated when two men, Charles Baldwin, then 22, and Mizell Taylor, then 20, arrived with firearms; the confrontation reportedly turned into an attempted robbery and a deadly shooting. Both men were arrested and charged with first- and second-degree murder; investigators used crime gun intelligence in the inquiry.

Trials followed, including a mistrial in October 2022 and a later jury verdict in June 2023 that acquitted both men of first-degree murder but convicted Taylor of multiple weapons and assault counts and Baldwin of reckless endangerment. Is there anyone who knew Diamond or Pedro, or who was in the area that night, who can help fill gaps in this case?
