On the evening of July 5, 2015, gunfire on the 2000 block of Kennedy Avenue in East Baltimore left 26-year-old Edward Burroughs critically wounded with a gunshot to the head. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died a short time later; his death was recorded as Baltimore’s 148th homicide that year and occurred during what became the city’s deadliest month in over four decades. Burroughs, a Black man known to friends as Eddie, was a father to a young child and described by acquaintances as resilient and outgoing.

Police opened a homicide investigation but initially had no motive and no suspects. Years later the case remains unsolved and the investigation open, with no publicly reported arrests or identified suspects.

If anyone knew Eddie, witnessed the shooting, or has information about that night on Kennedy Avenue, please come forward to help his family find answers.
