Darell Nazty Alston Jr., 26, was fatally shot on May 20, 2015, in the 2400 block of E. Monument Street in Baltimore. He was one of five people struck in the incident and was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head. Known locally as Nazty in the rap scene, his killing was reported to be linked to a feud involving another Baltimore rapper.

Police later identified a suspect in the case. Antonio Melvin, then 24, was arrested in May 2017 and charged with first-degree murder in Alston’s death and four counts of first-degree attempted murder for the others wounded. At the time of that arrest, Melvin was on federal home detention for a firearms charge and tied to a drug organization in east and northeast Baltimore. Some associates of the rival rapper have said Melvin may have been wrongly accused and that other leads were not fully explored. One detective who worked the investigation was later indicted on separate federal racketeering charges.

Does anyone have information about Alston’s last hours, the people present that night, or other leads that could clarify what happened?
