On the morning of March 12, 2014, Benjamin Delano Kirby Jr., 41, of Annapolis, was found dead in the driveway of a daycare center in Crownsville, Maryland. Police responding to a report of a suspicious, unoccupied taxi minivan with its meter running discovered signs of a violent struggle and blood inside the vehicle; a wider search located Kirby’s body, which had sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the upper body.

A search warrant executed in a separate burglary investigation produced items investigators say tied 17-year-old Trevor Allen Snead to the killing: a pair of pants stained with Kirby’s blood, .45 caliber ammunition consistent with the weapon used, and Snead’s fingerprints inside Kirby’s taxi. Snead was already in custody for burglary; he confessed and implicated 23-year-old Michael Juvan Wallace. Both were arrested and charged with first- and second-degree murder, armed robbery, and firearm violations. Trevor Allen Snead later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and use of a handgun in a crime of violence.

Are there witnesses or additional information about Kirby’s movements that morning who can help clarify what happened?
