Dontrell Toliver was 21 when he was shot and killed in East Baltimore on the morning of April 6, 2020. Around 9:30 a.m. he was on the 400 block of N. Montford Avenue when he was shot multiple times. First responders found him at North Montford Avenue and Jefferson Street with gunshot wounds to his arm, legs, and torso; he was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital and pronounced dead a short time later. Toliver lived on the 2400 block of Jefferson Street.

Surveillance footage played a key role in the investigation, showing two armed men confronting Toliver, pistol-whipping him and then shooting him while he was on the ground. A witness identified one of the men and detectives traced leads to a home on the 2300 block of Madison Street. On April 7 police arrested 33-year-old Keith Gladden and seized clothing matching what a shooter wore in the video. A second suspect, 26-year-old Arthur Holt, was arrested later and charged as well.

If anyone knew Dontrell, saw activity on N. Montford Avenue that morning, or has information about the shooting, please come forward to investigators.
