James Lee Butler, 27, was found fatally shot on May 17, 2014, in the 3300 block of Belvedere Avenue in Baltimore during the Preakness Stakes festivities. The location was public and busy with race-related activity when the homicide occurred. Initial reports suggested the shooting might have been gang-related, but the circumstances and motive were not immediately clear.

The lack of resolution has left Butler’s family and the community without answers about his final moments.

If anyone has information about James Lee Butler’s death or was in the Belvedere Avenue area on May 17, 2014, please come forward.
