On the evening of December 19, 2016, a burst of gunfire on the 2400 block of Rayner Avenue in Baltimore left two young men critically wounded in a double shooting. One victim, 22-year-old Anthony Lasalle Brown, was transported to a local hospital but died later that night from his injuries. The other victim was also hospitalized in critical condition.

Baltimore Police Department homicide detectives opened an investigation, but the motive was not identified publicly and no suspects were named in the immediate aftermath. The shooting remains under investigation, and the circumstances of another 2016 Baltimore homicide, that of Lamontrell Hynson, are documented separately and not publicly linked to this incident.

If anyone has information about the December 19, 2016 shooting on Rayner Avenue or knew Anthony Brown, please come forward to assist the investigation.
