Dontia Akins, 33, was shot outside a Royal Farms in the 3600 block of Washington Boulevard in Southwest Baltimore and later died at a hospital. Officers responded about 10:45 p.m. on the night of the shooting and found Akins suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest.

Police arrested Charles Gholston, 31, of the 200 block of S. Monastery Ave., and charged him with first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault and multiple firearms violations. Authorities did not release a motive or detail what led them to identify Gholston as a suspect.

Akins was identified in reports as the victim; funeral arrangements were handled by Wylie Funeral Homes. Does anyone have information about the incident or saw activity around the 3600 block of Washington Boulevard that night?
