On November 21, 2020, 20-year-old Pedro Chesley was fatally shot on the 700 block of Grantley Avenue in the Edmondson Village neighborhood of West Baltimore. Chesley, an Army reservist and Morgan State University ROTC student who had just accepted a job with Lockheed Martin, was with his longtime girlfriend, 21-year-old Diamond Davis, when both were found on the sidewalk after the attack. Davis was pronounced dead at the scene; Chesley died later at a nearby hospital. A third woman with them survived gunshot wounds to her arm and leg.

Investigators from Baltimore Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives later identified two suspects. In August 2021, 22-year-old Charles Baldwin and 20-year-old Mizell Taylor were charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and related offenses. Authorities said the shooting grew out of a planned fistfight between two women and that Baldwin and Taylor brought firearms to the altercation. A judge declared a mistrial in November 2022; another hearing was scheduled for May 2023.

What can readers add about Chesley, Davis, or the events that night that might help clarify who brought the guns and how the confrontation escalated?
