Demetrius Sowers, a 33-year-old African-American man, was shot and killed on the evening of August 14, 2011, around 9:30 p.m. The shooting occurred in the 3400 block of Clifton Avenue in Baltimore. The neighborhood had been experiencing a number of violent incidents that year, and this death contributed to the city’s high homicide rate in 2011.

Police opened an investigation into Sowers’s death but investigators were hampered by a lack of substantial leads and no witnesses coming forward. No arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified, so the case remains unsolved.

If anyone was in the area that night or has information about what happened on Clifton Avenue, please come forward to help bring answers for Demetrius’s family.
