George Cookson, 31, was shot and killed in Baltimore on January 19, 2017. Authorities say the killing was tied to the city’s drug trade rather than a random act. Investigators connected the slaying to the Black Guerilla Family; court findings later identified gang member Wesley McCants as the shooter and tied the motive to a drug debt he was collecting for an associate.

The murder weapon was recovered hidden in a vehicle at the associate’s home, which is also where McCants was captured. McCants’ role in Cookson’s death was noted during sentencing in a federal racketeering and drug conspiracy case.

Did anyone in Baltimore remember George Cookson or have information about his activities in early 2017?
