A shooting in South Baltimore in 2009 left Meron Normac Benjamin critically injured and, more than 13 years later, dead. On January 9, 2009, the 31-year-old Black / African American man was shot multiple times in the 200 block of Maude Avenue and was taken to a local hospital in stable but critical condition. He remained in that critical state for the long term; specifics of his medical course are not publicly detailed.

Meron Benjamin died on May 28, 2022, at age 44. On December 27, 2023, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore ruled his death a homicide, listing complications from the 2009 gunshot wounds as the cause. The Baltimore Police Department then opened a homicide investigation. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified; detectives are asking anyone with information to contact them or use Metro Crime Stoppers.

If anyone knew Meron Benjamin or has information about the 2009 shooting, please contact the Baltimore Police or Metro Crime Stoppers.
