On July 4, 2014, in the Forest Park neighborhood of West Baltimore, 34-year-old Matthew Drake was found shot to death in an alley on the 3200 block of Chelsea Terrace. Police discovered Drake lying face down and a paramedic pronounced him dead at 5:08 p.m. from multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body. Investigators recovered seven spent 9mm shell casings fired from the same weapon and $460 in cash on his person.

A black and blue Orlando Magic hat was recovered at the scene and was believed to have been dropped by the gunman. In December 2014, police arrested 25-year-old Omar McGee and charged him with first-degree murder and weapons offenses in connection with Drake’s death. DNA testing linked a sample from the hat to McGee; he was later indicted, tried and convicted of first-degree murder, related firearms offenses and conspiracy, and sentenced to two concurrent life terms plus an additional twenty years.

If anyone in Forest Park at the time remembers seeing a black and blue Orlando Magic hat or noticed activity in the alley on July 4, 2014, please share what you know.
