A violent shooting in a South Baltimore neighborhood in spring 2015 ended the life of 20-year-old Victor Gwaltney. Gwaltney, a Black male, was one of two men shot on a Wednesday in the 4100 block of 10th Street. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head and torso at close range and died in hospital on Saturday, March 28, 2015. A second victim, a 26-year-old man, was treated and released.

Investigators focused on 19-year-old Donnell Walker after eyewitnesses said he approached Gwaltney on a bicycle and opened fire into a crowd. One witness described Walker with a silver revolver near a tree just before the shooting. Police recovered a bicycle; DNA swabs from the handlebars were reported to match Walker with 99.9% accuracy. Walker was arrested the Friday after the shooting and initially charged with attempted first-degree murder, assault and weapons offenses; charges were later upgraded after Gwaltney died. He was convicted of first-degree murder, use of a firearm in a crime of violence and reckless endangerment, and sentenced to life with all but fifty years suspended.

Did anyone in the neighborhood know Victor or see the events that night?
