On the morning of Friday, July 31, 2020, 19-year-old Maqi Darden was shot and killed in the 3700 block of South Hanover Street in southern Baltimore. The shooting occurred in the morning; Darden was a young man just entering adulthood when his life was taken in his hometown.

Baltimore Police Department homicide detectives opened an investigation into the killing.

Darden’s death is another loss in a city wrestling with persistent gun violence, and his family and community remain without public updates that might offer closure. If anyone knew Maqi, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could assist investigators, please come forward.
