Michael Montgomery was 27 when he was fatally shot on the evening of June 11, 2020, in the 3700 block of Gelston Avenue in Baltimore. Emergency services responded at about 8:52 p.m., but Montgomery succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

Baltimore Police Department homicide detectives investigated for months and in May 2021 identified a suspect. Thirty-year-old Martinez Armstrong was taken into custody on May 5, 2021, in the 4700 block of Mt. Hope Drive and was charged with first-degree murder.

The prosecution later moved to dismiss the charges after a judge denied a requested second postponement to find a key witness, leaving the killing without a legal resolution as of the last reported court action. If anyone has information about Michael Montgomery or the shooting on Gelston Avenue, please come forward.
