On November 26, 2023, 18-year-old Carlos Carrazana-Ricardo traveled from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to West Baltimore to look at a 2006 Acura TL listed on Facebook Marketplace. After deciding not to buy the car, he and a friend left in their own vehicle. As they were driving away from the 2700 block of Harlem Avenue, someone fired into their car from behind. Carlos was struck in the head; despite his injury he tried to shield his friend while they drove off. The vehicle soon crashed on Winchester Street, where officers responding to a shot spotter alert found the wounded teenager. He was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center and later died from his injuries.

Homicide detectives traced the phone number used to arrange the meeting to 18-year-old Marques Harris of Baltimore. Carlos’s friend identified Harris in a photo lineup, and a handgun was recovered from Harris’s residence under a search warrant. An arrest warrant was issued on December 2 and Harris was taken into custody on related charges.

Anyone who was in West Baltimore on November 26, 2023, or who saw the Acura or either car that day is asked to share what they know. Who saw the exchange or the cars that afternoon?
