On the evening of December 22, 2016, 21-year-old Tijae Barnes was shot and killed when two masked men forced their way into a home on the 3600 block of Lyndale Avenue in Baltimore. The intruders kicked in the back door and opened fire; several children were upstairs during the attack but none were physically harmed.

Detectives determined the intrusion did not appear random and believed the attackers were looking for someone known to frequent the house, identified as Rae, the nickname of Raekwon Wilson, who was in a relationship with Barnes. Within days police arrested two brothers, 20-year-old Trevante Mahoney and his 17-year-old brother Tikoy Mahoney, and charged them with murder, assault, burglary and weapons offenses. Barnes’s 12-year-old sister identified one intruder by voice and eyes as Trevante Mahoney.

What information might help piece together who planned the attack and why Rae was targeted?
