On the morning of May 27, 2016, 41-year-old Latrina Ashburne, a teacher’s aide and associate pastor, was shot and killed outside her home in the Park Heights neighborhood of Baltimore. She was getting into her car when a man approached and shot her in the upper body. Nothing was taken from her vehicle or person.

Investigators say Ashburne was not the intended target. The attack was reportedly a case of mistaken identity in a murder-for-hire plot aimed at her next-door neighbor, a federal witness in a health care fraud and murder case against Matthew Hightower. According to charging documents, Hightower allegedly conspired from jail, using calls and letters to arrange the killing; surveillance footage and cell phone evidence put the shooter and getaway driver in the area at the time.

Three men were arrested in connection with the plot: the alleged mastermind, the shooter, and the driver. What can people who lived in Park Heights in 2016 add about the morning of May 27 or about Ashburne and her neighbor?
