On the morning of January 8, 2019, Prince George’s County officers responded to a welfare check at a home on Lundy Drive in Lanham, Maryland. In the backyard they found 29-year-old Thomas Jerel Baldwin of Fredericksburg, Virginia, dead of a gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene after a call came in around 7:15 a.m.

Investigators determined Baldwin had traveled from Virginia to Prince George’s County with two acquaintances, later identified as 44-year-old Dorian Ragland of Fredericksburg and 29-year-old Christopher Foxworth of Stafford, Virginia. Detectives say the men had planned to commit robberies, and both Ragland and Foxworth were arrested within days and charged in connection with Baldwin’s death.

Ragland entered a plea agreement with the state. Foxworth was tried in December 2022, and the jury found he shot Baldwin; he was convicted of second-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a crime, and related gun charges, and received a forty-year term on the murder count. Does anyone have information about Baldwin’s movements in Prince George’s County that morning or knew why the trip was planned?
