On the night of June 22, 2013, Joyce Lavania Alston, a 49-year-old Black/African American woman, was sitting in a car on the 1400 block of Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore when gunfire erupted. She and 20-year-old Gervontae Burgess were both struck and taken to separate hospitals, where they were pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Police from the Central District responded to the shooting, but public reports do not list any suspects, motives, or arrests. The investigation was opened, yet no further information about progress or resolution has been disclosed in those reports.

If anyone knew Joyce, Gervontae, or witnessed the shooting that night, please come forward with information that might help bring answers.
