Montell Telly Pridgett was 24 when he was shot and killed on Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore during the early hours of a Wednesday in March 2017. The shooting followed a physical altercation in which Pridgett, a promising young Black boxer with aspirations of turning professional, reportedly had the upper hand before the confrontation escalated and he was fatally shot.

Pridgett was taken to the University of Maryland Medical Center and later transferred to R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, where he died of his injuries. Baltimore City Police detectives said they had no suspects in custody and appealed for witnesses, noting many people were likely on the street at the time.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or recalls seeing anything on Pennsylvania Avenue in March 2017, please come forward.
