Bruce Royster, 62, was found inside a vehicle in the 4000 block of Edgewood Road in the East Arlington neighborhood of Northwest Baltimore on the evening of January 3, 2012. Police discovered him shortly before 10 p.m. suffering multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body; he was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his injuries, becoming Baltimore’s first homicide victim of 2012.

Homicide detectives canvassed the neighborhood, and police and community members distributed flyers asking for information, but no suspect was publicly identified and no arrests were announced. The investigation went cold and Royster’s family was left with unanswered questions after his sudden death.

If anyone knew Bruce, saw activity in the 4000 block of Edgewood Road that night, or has information that was never shared, please come forward to help finally close this case.
