Dontay Hughes, a 39-year-old Black man, was shot and later died after being found in the 2200 block of Poplar Grove Street in Baltimore on July 3, 2016. Police arrived shortly after 4 p.m. to discover Hughes with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to a nearby hospital but did not survive. Homicide detectives took over the investigation.

Detectives quickly concluded Hughes likely was not shot where he collapsed. Evidence pointed to an unknown location where the shooting occurred and then Hughes ran to Poplar Grove Street before collapsing, which complicates efforts to reconstruct the crime. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the case remains open. If anyone has information about Hughes, his movements that afternoon, or the location where he may have been shot, please come forward.
