Natasha Elizabeth Bates, a 40-year-old Black woman, was killed in a midday burst of gunfire in West Baltimore on July 10, 2013. Police were called just before 12:30 p.m. to the unit block of North Fulton Avenue near North Baltimore Street after reports that two people had been shot. Bates and a man were rushed to a hospital; both died a short time later. The man slain alongside her was identified as Dwing Robinson Webbs and officials said they were brother and sister.

Reporting noted that Webbs had been expected to testify in a trial a month earlier and had been shot the year before in the same neighborhood, details that raised questions about whether past threats or retaliation played a role, but those links were unproven. Bates’ fiancé described her as someone who hadn’t been looking for trouble. Police urged anyone with information to contact homicide detectives; at the time of the reports no arrests had been made and no suspects had been publicly named.

Does anyone in the area remember seeing or hearing anything around North Fulton Avenue before or just after noon on July 10, 2013?
