Kajuan Guinn was 21 when he was fatally shot in the early morning hours of July 30, 2014. He was standing outside a Chinese restaurant on Reisterstown Road in Baltimore at about 12:35 a.m. when he was struck by gunfire. His death began a violent three-day span in the city that claimed four other young residents.

Guinn’s early life included time in foster care; he had been reunited with family but lost his mother to complications of lupus when he was eight. He became a caregiver for her before her death. At about 10 he ran away and later became involved in street life, gangs and drugs. As a teenager he appeared in a low-budget film with other gang members holding a firearm and had several arrests that led to juvenile detention. While incarcerated he reconnected with siblings through letters and report cards and urged his younger brother to avoid his path.

A year after his killing, no arrests or suspects had been publicly identified and his family remained without closure. If anyone knew Kajuan, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
