In the early hours of September 13, 2017, 34-year-old Daivon Evans was found in the grass on the 700 block of Popular Grove Street in Baltimore, bleeding from multiple stab wounds. Southwest District patrol officers responded around 1:09 a.m.; Evans was taken to a local hospital and later died of those injuries. The incident was investigated as a fatal assault.

The investigation continued for several months. On February 14, 2018, Baltimore Warrant Apprehension detectives arrested 23-year-old Eric Carter and charged him with first- and second-degree murder and first- and second-degree assault in connection with Evans’ death. Carter was taken to the Central Booking Intake Facility following his arrest.

Anyone who witnessed the early-morning assault on Popular Grove Street or who has information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
