In the early morning hours of August 8, 2017, 15-year-old Tyrese Davis was walking home with his brother in the 1600 block of West Franklin Street in Baltimore’s Harlem Park neighborhood when a car pulled up behind them. A man got out of the passenger side carrying a handgun and demanded their belongings. The brothers ran in different directions; a single gunshot was heard and Tyrese was later found in an alley with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries.

Police identified and arrested 24-year-old Craig Williams on August 19, 2017, recovering a handgun on him. Ballistics testing tied that gun to the shot that killed Tyrese. Investigators also connected Williams to another murder and a carjacking around the same time. At trial a jury convicted Williams of first-degree felony murder, attempted armed robbery, and use of a firearm in a crime of violence; he was sentenced to life without parole for Tyrese’s killing.

If anyone knew Tyrese, saw the brothers that night, or has information about the events on West Franklin Street, please come forward.
