A wellness check in winter 2019 led Baltimore police to the 1200 block of East Belvedere Avenue in Northeast Baltimore, where officers entered a home on Thursday, December 19, 2019, and found 50-year-old Dannette Sheppard unresponsive with gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel responded and pronounced her dead at the scene.

The Baltimore Police Department’s homicide unit opened an investigation and has asked the public for help identifying whoever was responsible.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or hear anything that night, or have information about Ms. Sheppard’s last known contacts?
