Armand Byrd Parrine, a 26-year-old Black/African American man, was shot and killed on May 7, 2015, on a basketball court in the Harlem Park neighborhood of West Baltimore. His death came during a spring 2015 surge in homicides across the city that coincided with lower arrest rates and heightened tensions following Freddie Gray’s death in custody.

Family members spoke of a diminished police presence and growing fear in neighborhoods like Harlem Park, where residents said they were reluctant to let children play outside and gunfire had become common. No arrests, charges, trials, or convictions have been reported in connection with Parrine’s killing, and law enforcement has not released details about suspects or leads.

If anyone knew Armand, saw activity at the Harlem Park court on or around May 7, 2015, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
