Donnie Walton, 54, was fatally shot on the morning of May 30, 2019, on the 400 block of E. 21st Street in Baltimore, the street where he lived. Police responded after a ShotSpotter alert at about 6:18 a.m. and found Walton with an upper-body gunshot wound; he was taken to the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center and later died of his injuries.

Security camera footage showed a man later identified as 31-year-old Anderson Covel Jr. parking nearby, pacing in the area, then confronting Walton on the sidewalk as Walton walked toward his home. Investigators say Covel produced a firearm, shot Walton multiple times and fled. The motive has not been publicly disclosed.

Baltimore homicide detectives identified and arrested Covel, who was charged with first-degree murder and being a disqualified person in possession of a regulated firearm; a jury found him guilty in February 2020. If anyone knew Donnie Walton, saw activity on E. 21st Street that morning, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
