Maricus Kyle Perkins was 20 when he was shot during an attempted armed robbery in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Baltimore on the afternoon of October 3, 2011. He was taken to the University of Maryland Hospital, where he died of his wounds.

Investigators identified Raymond Kelly as the suspect. Prosecutors’ case relied on eyewitness testimony placing Kelly as the shooter during the attempted robbery; the defense argued mistaken identity and offered no witnesses. A Baltimore City jury convicted Kelly of second-degree murder and attempted robbery.

The court sentenced Kelly to 30 years for the murder charge, to be served concurrently with a 13-year sentence for the attempted robbery. Does anyone have information about Perkins’ life in Brooklyn or the circumstances of that afternoon?
