On the evening of May 20, 2013, 19-year-old Montel Lee Gresham was shot and killed in the 3100 block of Cliftmont Avenue in Northeast Baltimore. The attack occurred amid a period of elevated gun violence in the city; Gresham was left fatally wounded after shots rang out in the neighborhood. Law enforcement responded and opened a homicide investigation, but no suspect was identified or arrested in the immediate aftermath.

Montel was a young Black man whose death added to a year already marked by many similar losses in Baltimore, and his case underscored the community’s struggle with gun violence and the difficulty of closing some investigations. If anyone heard or saw anything in the 3100 block of Cliftmont Avenue around the evening of May 20, 2013, or has information that could help, please come forward.
