On October 4, 2016, 25-year-old Edward Hursey, a Black or African American man, was shot and killed on the 3300 block of Cliftmont Avenue in Baltimore. He was sitting on the porch of a vacant house when a suspect on the porch of another empty house a few doors down opened fire. Hursey was struck, ran to escape, and the assailant chased him while firing additional shots. He suffered fatal gunshot wounds to the head and torso. Police were called about 1 p.m.; Hursey was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital and pronounced dead at about 1:35 p.m.
