Juan Grant, 33, was fatally shot in West Baltimore on a Saturday evening in April 2019. The shooting occurred after his black Cadillac collided with a dirt bike in the 1800 block of North Payson Street. Grant exited his vehicle after the crash and was shot in the head; he was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his wounds.

Grant had been a vocal advocate during the protests that followed Freddie Gray’s death and often demonstrated in front of the Western District police station. His family said he had been on his way to his grandmother’s home after dropping off a cousin and described him as a devoted father who had focused on family in the years after Gray’s death. The shooting happened on the fourth anniversary of Freddie Gray’s funeral, a point noted by those who knew Grant.

Baltimore police opened an investigation after the killing, and no arrests or suspects were publicly identified in initial reports. The case appears to remain unsolved. If anyone knew Juan, was in the area that night, or has information about the collision or the shooting, please come forward.
