Kenneth Taylor, 48, was found dead inside his Mercedes SUV in the 2500 block of McHenry Street in Baltimore on a December day in 2014. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the head. Taylor was known in the neighborhood for selling counterfeit goods and small quantities of marijuana from his vehicle, and investigators say that activity appears connected to his death.

Detectives focused on two cellphones recovered in Taylor’s SUV. Texts discussed money owed for marijuana with a contact saved as Freeky Good, and the last call to Taylor, one minute before he was killed, came from a number labeled Freeky 3. Cellphone tracking led police to an address in the 2600 block of Frederick Avenue, where officers contacted 17-year-old Tyriq Bowden. Bowden at first denied knowing Taylor, then acknowledged helping sell marijuana and possessing one of the victim’s phones.

A search of Bowden’s home turned up a Hi-Point .380 semi-automatic handgun; ballistics testing linked that gun to the shots that killed Taylor. Bowden was arrested and charged with first- and second-degree murder, assault, and weapons violations and held at the Baltimore City Detention Center.

If anyone knew Kenneth Taylor, his activities in that part of Baltimore, or has information about contacts saved as Freeky Good or Freeky 3, please share what you know.
