Damien Jamal Best, 21, was killed in Northeast Baltimore in October 2015. He was standing outside his home in the 5400 block of Moores Run Drive when a gunman opened fire. After he was shot, multiple hooded figures reportedly robbed him while he lay wounded. His mother partially witnessed the final moments of the attack.

Police and paramedics arrived around 10 p.m.; Best was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead. The Baltimore City Police Department classified the death as a homicide and the Northeast District detectives handled the investigation.

A candlelight vigil on Moores Run Drive a few days later drew about 100 people, and that gathering was shattered by gunfire; a 26-year-old man was shot multiple times and was expected to survive. No suspects or arrests in Best’s murder have been publicly released. If anyone has information about the shooting or the people involved, please share what is known with investigators.
