Michael Mayfield was 17 and a senior at Edmondson-Westside High School when he was found shot in the head inside a vehicle in the 2300 block of Lyndhurst Avenue in Baltimore. Paramedics took him to a nearby hospital, but he died on April 16, 2014. He was a standout baseball player, a marching band member, and in the junior ROTC, and had already been accepted to college.

Police initially had few leads. They described a suspect as a Black man wearing a blue sweatshirt, jeans, and tennis shoes; no age, height, or weight were provided. Investigators later examined a possible connection to the killing of Mayfield’s cousin, Matthew Drake, who was shot and killed in the same area a few months afterward. No arrest had been announced in Mayfield’s case and the motive remained unclear.

If anyone knew Michael, his routines, or saw a person matching that description in the Lyndhurst Avenue area in April 2014, please come forward with information.
