Darryl Burks Jr., a 25-year-old Black medical technician from Baltimore, was found dead inside a burned vacant rowhouse in the 3000 block of Rayner Avenue after firefighters responded to a blaze on the evening of November 29, 2017. Though the body was initially discovered amid the fire damage, an autopsy determined Burks had been shot and his death was ruled a homicide. Friends described him as kind-hearted and outgoing.

Baltimore Police Department homicide detectives investigated the case for nearly a year. On December 1, 2018, police arrested 34-year-old Keith Vinson on a charge of accessory after the fact to murder. Three days later, on December 4, 2018, 28-year-old Aaron Gadson was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Both men were held without bail.

If anyone knew Darryl, his movements that November, or has information about the Rayner Avenue rowhouse fire, please share what you know.
