Richard Clarence Ramsay III, 24, was fatally shot on the late afternoon of February 22, 2020, in the 200 block of Poplar Avenue in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Emergency responders arrived after a report at about 4:39 p.m. and found Ramsay with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A 26-year-old man was also wounded in the incident.

Investigators described the attack as targeted and tied it to an illicit drug transaction. Detectives say Alkein Alphozo Coates, 22, of Elkridge, and another male entered a garage at the Poplar Avenue address, announced a robbery, brandished a handgun and fired, killing Ramsay and wounding the other man before fleeing. Coates was arrested on August 13, 2020, while already in custody on an unrelated matter and was charged with first- and second-degree murder, manslaughter, armed robbery and assault. Prosecutors later said Coates was not the triggerman but helped set up the drug deal and took part in the robbery.

Does anyone who knew Richard or who was in that neighborhood on February 22, 2020, have information that could help fill gaps in the timeline or identify the other man involved?
