On the evening of December 18, 2017, 27-year-old Donnell Haley was shot in the stomach during a violent confrontation in Northeast Baltimore. Police found Haley at the scene and he was transported to a local hospital, where his injuries proved fatal.

Reports say Haley and another man, Devon Perkins, were allegedly assaulting a third person when a separate individual intervened and opened fire, striking both Haley and Perkins. Perkins later died at the hospital. The Baltimore State’s Attorney reviewed the case and concluded the shooter had acted in defense of the person being attacked, so no charges were filed and the incident was reclassified from a double homicide, affecting the city’s homicide count for that year.

Are there witnesses or additional details about what led up to the altercation that could clarify what happened?
