In the early hours of September 1, 2012, 22-year-old Darrien Jackson was shot on the 1300 block of Lakewood Avenue in East Baltimore. Police arrived just before 2 a.m. and found Jackson suffering from at least one gunshot wound. He was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital where medical staff fought for six hours, but he died of his injuries.

Homicide detectives canvassed the neighborhood seeking witnesses, but investigators reported a persistent lack of cooperation that hindered efforts to identify a suspect. No publicly announced arrests or named suspects have been reported in connection with his killing. This case is one of many unsolved Baltimore homicides from a year of heightened violence.

If anyone knew Darrien, saw activity near Lakewood Avenue that night, or has information that could help, please come forward to the investigators handling the case.
