On May 25, 2020, a burst of gunfire on the 3300 block of Liberty Heights Avenue in Baltimore left 40-year-old Michael Barnes fatally wounded. Emergency crews responded but Barnes’ injuries were too severe; his death was recorded as Baltimore’s 120th homicide of that year.

The shooting occurred in an area noted for a history of violent incidents and was one of several homicides during a violent May in the city. The Baltimore Police Department opened an investigation, but the case has since gone cold. There have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects, and no new leads have been reported.

If anyone saw the shooting on May 25, 2020, or has information about activity in the 3300 block of Liberty Heights Avenue around that time, please come forward to help bring answers for Michael Barnes’ family.
