On the afternoon of Thursday, February 9, 2017, 21-year-old Deontae Bluefort was shot in the 200 block of North Hilton Street in Southwest Baltimore. Police arrived around 2:50 p.m. and found him with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and died shortly after arrival. Baltimore City homicide detectives opened an investigation and publicly sought help identifying two people seen near the scene. Nearly two months later his mother issued a public plea for anyone with information to come forward.

An arrest in the case led to charges against Cory Williams, including first- and second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and handgun violations. At trial prosecutors showed surveillance footage from a nearby store; the jury acquitted Williams of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder but convicted him of second-degree murder, use of a handgun in a crime of violence, and conspiracy to use a handgun in a crime of violence.

Did anyone in Southwest Baltimore around North Hilton Street on February 9, 2017, see or hear anything that could help clarify what happened?
