Howard Gibson was 40 when he was shot on November 23, 2018, in Baltimore. He died of his injuries a week later on November 30, and his body was found at 3800 Echodale Avenue; the death was ruled a homicide by shooting.

For some time the case had no publicly identified suspects or arrests and remained open. In 2021 a federal racketeering indictment against members of the Cruddy Conniving Crutballs (CCC) gang named the murder of Howard Gibson, alleging that CCC members murdered him on or about November 23, 2018, but the indictment did not identify which individuals committed the killing and has not resulted in a specific charge naming a shooter for his death.

Anyone who knew Howard, was in the area of Echodale Avenue that week in 2018, or has information about the CCC’s activities that could shed light on this killing is asked to come forward.
