Paul Hilroy Passley, a 58-year-old Black man, was shot to death in the early hours of Monday, August 17, 2015, in Baltimore’s Penrose neighborhood. Police say the killing began as a robbery; Passley sustained a gunshot wound to the head and his 2001 Porsche Boxster was taken. The car was recovered roughly a mile away in the Evergreen Lawn area after being involved in a hit-and-run. Those inside the vehicle fled on foot and left behind an item that investigators recovered as evidence.

Baltimore police publicly identified Passley and asked the community for information, including anonymous tips to Metro Crime Stoppers. If anyone knew Paul Passley or saw the Porsche or individuals fleeing the hit-and-run scene that morning, please contact the Baltimore police with tips.
