Forrest L. Featherstone Jr. was a 20-year-old African American man from Baltimore who was fatally shot on November 5, 1999. His death set off a lengthy local investigation that encountered persistent obstacles: witnesses’ testimony was unclear or unreliable, and prosecutors struggled to assemble the concrete evidence needed for secure convictions.

Detectives identified and questioned several people during the probe, and multiple arrests were made in connection with the murder.

Anyone with memories of Forrest, information about the shooting on November 5, 1999, or details that might help investigators is asked to come forward.
