Demond Scroggins, 44, was found shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene in the 1200 block of E. Lafayette Street in Baltimore in the late hours of September 9, 2019. Known as Dee to friends and family, Scroggins was described as a funny, loving and supportive father, brother and son who was born and raised in East Baltimore and who was closely involved in the lives of his four children and their friends.

The investigation led to the arrest of 46-year-old Ronald Brady on April 30, 2020. Brady was taken into custody in the 600 block of Denison Street and charged with first-degree murder, firearm use during a crime and illegal possession of a firearm; he was held at Central Booking without bail and had a scheduled trial date that was later rescheduled in May 2022.

Anyone who knew Demond Scroggins or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
