Joseph Franklin Haskins, 20, was shot during a late-night home invasion in northwest Baltimore on May 8, 2013. The attack happened around 11:30 p.m. at a gathering on Ethland Avenue where guests had been gambling, drinking, and using drugs. Up to three intruders forced their way into the house and announced a robbery; Haskins was wounded during the chaos and died at a nearby hospital in the early hours of May 9, 2013.

Haskins was a cousin of then-mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, and his death drew immediate attention. Baltimore police canvassed the Forest Park neighborhood seeking witnesses, and Metro Crime Stoppers offered a reward for tips leading to an arrest and conviction. Reports indicate no arrest has been publicly announced and the identities of the one to three suspects remain unknown.

If anyone was at the gathering that night or has information about the intruders, can you share what you remember?
