Emmanuel Cruz, 39, was shot and killed in the early hours of July 9, 2018 in the parking lot of a bar on North Haven Street in East Baltimore. Police responded to a shooting at about 2 a.m.; Cruz was found with multiple gunshot wounds and later died at a nearby hospital.

Witnesses identified Jaquan Burks as the shooter after an altercation outside the bar. The motive for the dispute has not been released. Burks was arrested and charged in connection with Cruz’s death; the State’s Attorney’s office emphasized that community testimony played a crucial role in the prosecution.

Did anyone who knew Emmanuel or who was in that area that night see anything that could add detail to the timeline or the confrontation?
