Idrissa Derme, 46, was shot and killed while working a delivery shift on the evening of October 15, 2018, in Catonsville, Maryland. A native of Burkina Faso who had lived in the U.S. for two years, he was making a delivery for Pat’s Pizza & Pasta in the 900 block of Vanderwood Road when he returned to his running black 2008 Honda Accord after approaching the wrong house. At least one person was in the process of stealing the car; during a brief struggle Mr. Derme was shot in the upper body and later pronounced dead at the scene.

His vehicle was taken and recovered years later in an alley in the Federal Hill neighborhood of Baltimore City. Investigators say they believe the killing was a robbery and a crime of opportunity. An item left by the offender likely contains DNA, and forensic work was still underway as of late 2025; no arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced.

Does anyone with information about that night or the recovered vehicle know anything that could help the investigation?
