Thelonius Monk, a 28-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on a West Baltimore street on August 19, 2015. His death was one of 344 homicides in the city that year, a record that left many families without answers.

A detail from before his death gives a small humanizing glimpse: a Baltimore Sun editor whose car had been stolen later found it returned with a baby seat and a stack of job applications inside, and the man who took the car was identified as Thelonius Monk. That image suggested a young man trying to find work and care for a child, a life cut short by violence.

No arrests or suspects have been reported in connection with Monk’s murder, and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Thelonius, his routines, or has information about what happened that night, please share what you can with investigators.
