On the afternoon of Sunday, September 4, 2011, 31-year-old Antonio Gregory Laws was found unresponsive in a second-floor bedroom of his Baltimore home on the 500 block of North Chester Street. An officer entering after a distraught woman flagged down a patrolman discovered Mr. Laws bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at 12:30 p.m. It appeared he had been shot while sleeping.

Known to family as Tony and the grandson of the late Baltimore City Councilwoman Bea Gaddy, he had been working at a downtown restaurant and was expecting his first child. The shooting occurred near the Bea Gaddy Women and Children’s Center the family operates, leaving relatives devastated and fearful. The Baltimore Police Department has not identified suspects or a motive, and the homicide remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Tony, saw activity near North Chester Street that day, or has information that could help solve this killing, please come forward.
