On a Wednesday night in April 2019, 21-year-old Morgan State University student Kevon Dix was fatally shot around 10:23 p.m. in the 3400 block of Mary Avenue in Northeast Baltimore. Dix had just gotten into his car after leaving a friend’s apartment when he was shot and was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man, 29, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg in the same incident.

Dix was a music major who hoped for a career on Broadway or as a voice teacher. He sang with the Morgan State University Choir, worked as a toll collector for the Maryland Department of Transportation, and was due to graduate in December 2019. Family and friends remember him as a bright presence and say nothing was taken from his vehicle, including his iPhone and laptop; they have suggested the possibility of mistaken identity.

The university held a vigil, dedicated its spring choir concert to him, and in May 2019 he was posthumously awarded his Bachelor of Arts in Music, accepted by his brother. As of early 2020 the Baltimore City Police were still investigating and no arrests or public suspect identifications had been announced. Did anyone in the community see or hear anything that night on Mary Avenue?
