In spring 2013 in Baltimore, Maryland, 22-year-old Moses Malone was shot to death after cooperating with police in a prior shooting and robbery. Weeks earlier Malone had identified Norman Handy, a known member of the Black Guerilla Family, as the attacker; that cooperation is reported to have made him a target. On May 2, 2013, in the 600 block of Cokesbury Avenue, Wesley Jamal Brown — Handy’s half-brother and a member of the BGF’s Greenmount Regime — shot Malone with a .22 caliber handgun, an act described as intended to prevent Malone from testifying in court.

The killing was investigated as part of a larger probe into the BGF’s activities, which included allegations of drug distribution, robbery and witness tampering. Brown was arrested and charged in connection with Malone’s death and later admitted to the shooting; he was sentenced in 2018. Did anyone in Baltimore know Moses Malone or have information about what happened around Cokesbury Avenue that spring?
