A welfare check on a Friday morning in mid-August 2014 brought Baltimore police to a home in the 4100 block of Fernhill Avenue, where 53-year-old Duane Mitchell was found unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene. The case was referred to homicide detectives and an autopsy by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner officially ruled his death a homicide, listing unspecified trauma as the cause.

Authorities released few details afterward: no suspects, motive, or arrests were publicly identified, and follow-up information has remained scarce.

If anyone knew Duane, lived on Fernhill Avenue in 2014, or has information about that mid-August incident, please come forward to help bring clarity to this case.
