Daniel Brinkley, 24, was shot and killed in the Upton community of Baltimore on October 2, 2017. The shooting happened around 8:29 a.m. in the 1300 block of Myrtle Avenue. Officers arriving found Brinkley had already been taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Hospital; he was pronounced dead at 8:53 a.m. An autopsy showed he sustained six gunshot wounds.

Investigators recovered blood, two bullet casings, clothing, pocket change, and cell phone chargers at the scene. A witness identified the shooter as a neighborhood man known as Ty, later named as Tyrone White, and described his clothing and a disfigured eye. The witness said White shot Brinkley multiple times, rifled his pockets, and fled on foot. White was arrested within 24 hours. Police later found ammunition, a speed loader, a brown coat and black boots matching the description, and journals at White’s home containing threats toward Brinkley, including an entry dated the day before the shooting that Danny needs to learn a lesson.

A jury convicted Tyrone White of first-degree murder and related weapon offenses in July 2019 and he was sentenced in November 2019. That conviction was overturned on appeal, and a second trial in 2022 ended in a hung jury. A third trial was scheduled for September 2024.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see Brinkley or the man known as Ty that morning who hasn’t spoken to investigators?
