Andre Michael Martin, 43, was found shot to death in the basement of his mother’s Hilldale Place home in Baltimore during the early morning of April 5, 2018. Police discovered him with four gunshot wounds; his 23-year-old nephew, Santos Martin-Stanfield, was also at the scene with a single gunshot wound to his leg.

Investigators say Martin-Stanfield had gone to the grandmother’s house unexpectedly and went downstairs with his uncle. Although Martin-Stanfield claimed he shot in self-defense, the inquiry concluded he shot Andre Martin multiple times and then shot himself in the leg to stage a defensive narrative. After hospital treatment he was arrested and charged with murder, assault, and weapons violations.

In February 2019 Martin-Stanfield pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and received a life sentence with all but 40 years suspended, plus five years probation. Did anyone in the neighborhood or family see them together that night or know of a motive?
