Raynard Darrius Pratt, known to friends and family as Soup, was fatally shot in Baltimore on Wednesday, August 8, 2018. He was 37 and died of a gunshot wound to the torso during a weekend of heightened violence that coincided with a Baltimore Ceasefire event intended to reduce gun violence.

Born in Baltimore on September 13, 1980, Pratt was an avid reader, a basketball fan and the proud father of a son, Ryan, born in 2005. He and his fiancée, Felecia Brannon, had moved to Pennsylvania in 2015, where he worked for Federal-Mogul Motorparts. Police investigators reported that a lack of witnesses and a strong no-snitch culture in parts of the community hindered the inquiry; no arrests or publicly identified suspects were reported.

Anyone who knew Raynard, saw activity in the area on August 8, 2018, or has information that could help investigators is asked to come forward.
