Rodney Howard Wheatley III, 28, was shot and killed at 200 S Bentalou St in Baltimore on the evening of June 12, 2017; his death was recorded the following day, June 13, 2017. Known as Three, Lil Rodney, and Tear Drop, Wheatley was born August 4, 1988, attended Baltimore City Public Schools, worked for the city before founding Flip Transportation, and was baptized at Saint Paul United Methodist Church. He was remembered for his faith, sense of humor, love of music and close ties with neighborhood children.

One account says he spent the evening with his mother, left her home around 9:10 p.m., and returned to his house where burglars were hiding inside. As he moved to lock the door he was shot four times, managed to get out the front door but died at 9:32 p.m., the fourth shot being fatal. No arrests have been publicly announced in connection with his murder.
