On the evening of November 30, 2016, gunfire erupted in front of the Stop One convenience store in the Liberty Heights area of Baltimore. Twenty-three-year-old Davon Dozier was killed at the scene after suffering multiple gunshot wounds. Another man, 29-year-old Troy Smothers, was critically wounded and later died of a single gunshot wound to the back at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center. Four other people were also injured in the attack.

Investigators described a lone gunman approaching a group outside the store and opening fire; the motive was believed to be retaliation. The Baltimore Police identified a suspect and on December 12, 2016, Damon Dwight Alexander was arrested at a family member’s home while he slept. Authorities linked him to a stolen firearm and charged him with the murders of Dozier and Smothers plus attempted murder for the four survivors. Alexander was later convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of Dozier and Smothers.

If anyone knew Davon Dozier, his activities that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what you know.
