On the evening of August 5, 2019, Michael Wudtee, a 22-year-old Black man, was found unresponsive on the 4400 block of Park Heights Avenue in northwest Baltimore with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital but succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead. Investigators treated the incident as a homicide and sought witnesses who might have seen the shooting, the moments before it, or the direction the shooter fled, but initial public reports did not name any suspect or offer a motive.

Michael was born November 9, 1996, in Baltimore and was living in Owings Mills when he died. Memorial pages and funeral notices recorded that some knew him by the nickname 2 redz. A wake and service were held August 13, 2019, at Wylie Funeral Home in Randallstown.

If anyone saw the shooting or has information about Michael that could help the investigation, please come forward.
