Michael Johnson was 25 when he was fatally shot on a Saturday afternoon in June 2018 in the 1600 block of Baker Street in West Baltimore, near the Gilmor Homes housing development. Police found him on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center and died of his injuries. An autopsy recorded three gunshot wounds and a graze wound, and the wounds suggested he was shot from behind while attempting to flee.

Investigators recovered eleven spent cartridge cases of two calibers, .22 long and 9 mm Luger, indicating two semiautomatic weapons were used. City police and private surveillance video showed two men in hoodies chasing Johnson as he ran. One suspect, Douglass Dorsey, was identified, arrested and later convicted of first-degree murder and related firearms offenses; he received life plus a concurrent 20-year sentence. The identity or arrest status of the second assailant is not known.

If anyone saw Michael or the chase on Baker Street that afternoon, please share what was seen or any information about the second man.
