On New Year’s Day 2014, Frank Anthony Turner, 48, and his 21-year-old son Anthony Dionne Turner were shot and killed while walking on the sidewalk in the 3900 block of Edmondson Avenue in West Baltimore. Both were taken to a nearby hospital but died within about 15 minutes of each other. Family members said Frank had been attacked and stabbed by three people the night before, a detail they feared indicated he had been targeted.

Friends and relatives described Frank as a kind, well-known presence in the neighborhood and expressed deep shock and grief after the daylight double killing, which were the city’s first homicides of the year. Detectives increased their presence in the area as the investigation began, and in August 2016 police arrested 27-year-old Jamal Dunn and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder.
