Brian Michael Birden, 21, was killed in Baltimore on October 31, 2013, when gunfire erupted on Kennedy Avenue just after 1 p.m. Police found two people shot on the 2000 block near 22nd Street; Birden was pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim, Michael Carter, was transported to Johns Hopkins Hospital but also died of his injuries, and detectives treated the incident as a double homicide.

The shooting happened in broad daylight at about 1:10 p.m., a time when people were likely to be out running errands or heading home. Officers cordoned off the block and canvassed for witnesses, seeking anyone who might have seen the shots fired or a vehicle that left the scene. No suspect or arrest was identified in initial reports, and investigators asked anyone with information to call 410-396-2100.

If anyone remembers seeing activity on Kennedy Avenue near 22nd Street that afternoon or has information about either victim’s last movements, please share what is known with investigators.
