On September 12, 2020, at about 10:45 p.m., 27-year-old Fillmore James Burris was found lying in the street in the 500 block of Delaware Avenue in Glen Burnie, Maryland, having sustained fatal gunshot wounds. Police responded after reports of a fight; investigators say Burris had been involved in an altercation with family members when three other men approached. An argument followed over the men videotaping him, and one of the men produced a handgun and shot Burris. The three suspects fled the scene immediately afterward.

An autopsy determined the cause of death was gunshot wounds and the manner was homicide. Burris, known to friends and family as James, left behind a fiancée and a young daughter. Through witness interviews, authorities identified a 21-year-old man from Glen Burnie as the shooter and obtained an arrest warrant charging him with second-degree murder, assault, reckless endangerment and firearm offenses; he turned himself in on October 30, 2020.

Does anyone have information about Burris’s last hours or who witnessed the shooting?
