William Douglass Treadwell, 42, was fatally shot in East Baltimore on the evening of April 17, 2014. The shooting occurred about 7:30 p.m. on the 1600 block of Wolfe Street, near Wolfe Liquors and the intersection of East Lanvale and Wolfe streets. A witness who knew Treadwell from the neighborhood said he was walking with two other men when shots came from the direction of Federal Street and Treadwell fell to the sidewalk.

Treadwell was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead after suffering a gunshot wound to the head. The witness described Treadwell as a known presence in the area and not believed to have had conflicts with others. Baltimore Police Department homicide detectives opened an investigation but initially identified no suspects or motive. Authorities appealed for public help; the case has stalled due to few cooperating witnesses and limited evidence, and no arrests have been announced.
