Damon Bailey, 36, was shot and killed in Baltimore on June 10, 2020, around 6:45 p.m. on the 1800 block of W. North Avenue. A 48-year-old woman was also shot in the same incident. Prosecutors later alleged the killing grew out of Bailey disrespecting members of the Rolling 60s Crips during a group celebration; a witness said Bailey made a disrespectful comment about Theodore Richards and that Justin Westbrook then summoned Richards and Antuan Dubose to the scene.

At trial prosecutors said an argument and disrespect escalated into the shooting. Justin Westbrook, 26 at the time, was tried first; his defense pointed to two brothers who were prosecution witnesses and noted surveillance footage was obscured at the moment shots were fired. A jury acquitted Westbrook of first- and second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and two handgun charges in February 2023.

Theodore Richards, 37, and Antuan Dubose, 33, were tried later. Prosecutors relied on phone call logs and cell-site location data and presented testimony that Dubose had told another to handle the matter. Defense teams challenged the witnesses’ credibility and the absence of physical evidence, noting the shooting was not captured on camera. In August 2023 both men were found not guilty of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and second-degree murder.
