A daylight shooting near Lexington Market in downtown Baltimore killed 23-year-old Tayvon Rashard Cokley on December 5, 2016. Earlier that day he had visited a family member in the hospital who was also a victim of violence. Around 1 p.m. in the 100 block of N. Eutaw Street, bystanders and nearby police heard gunfire; officers found Cokley, performed CPR, and he was taken to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center where he later died.

Surveillance footage showed suspects fleeing the scene and, together with public tips, led police to identify two 24-year-olds, Derrick Charles Jackson Jr. and Vincent Jamar Barefoot. Both were arrested on December 16, 2016, in the 3500 block of Woodland Avenue and charged with first-degree murder and related counts. Investigators did not announce a clear motive, though robbery was suggested by some. Jackson’s attorney said he was misidentified and at a doctor’s appointment with his pregnant wife at the time of the shooting.

Did anyone in Baltimore around Lexington Market that afternoon see something that could help explain why Cokley was targeted?
