On the night of September 11, 2018, 43-year-old Gregory Cason was shot on the 2900 block of East Monument Street in East Baltimore just after 10:30 p.m. Officers found him with gunshot wounds; he was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. At the time he was living in the household with his girlfriend, their young son, her mother, and her mother’s boyfriend.

Homicide detectives later identified a suspect, and William Wright was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and firearm offenses. The prosecution’s case relied heavily on the testimony of Cason’s girlfriend, who had been present. The defense attacked her credibility, saying she gave conflicting statements and misidentified Wright.

Wright’s trial began in November 2021 and after testimony and deliberation the jury acquitted him of all charges. Legally the case is closed with that verdict, but who killed Gregory Cason remains unanswered. Does anyone have information about that night or about Gregory’s life on East Monument Street?
