On the evening of Friday, January 6, 2012, 27-year-old Doral Hinton was walking home from a store in the 2400 block of Ashland Avenue in Baltimore when he was shot. He was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital but died of his injuries. An obituary confirmed his date of death and announced funeral services for the following week.

Authorities said the shooting was one of four separate shootings that weekend in Baltimore City, two of which were fatal. Investigators reported no established motive and no suspects at the time. A witness account mentioned an encounter with a tall, thin African American man wearing a hoodie around the time of the shooting, but details of that interaction were not made clear.

If anyone has information about Doral Hinton’s movements that night or remembers seeing someone matching that description near Ashland Avenue, please come forward.
