In the early morning of July 26, 2013, gunfire erupted in the 2700 block of Jefferson Street in McElderry Park, East Baltimore. Nineteen-year-old Deontrey Thompson, a Black male from the Broadway East neighborhood, was shot in the head and later died at a hospital. A second man with Thompson was shot in the back and survived; that victim was not publicly identified and was reported in stable condition.

The Baltimore Police Department opened an investigation into the double shooting and Thompson’s homicide. No arrests or suspects have been publicly detailed, and the motive and circumstances leading up to the shooting remain under investigation.

If anyone knew Deontrey, the other man present that night, or observed activity on Jefferson Street around 1:30 a.m. on July 26, 2013, please come forward with information.
