Dominic Gerard Perry, known as Nick, was 15 when he was fatally shot on the evening of Sunday, July 31, 2011, in Baltimore’s Southwest district. He was taken to Shock Trauma Hospital but did not survive. Dominic’s close friend, 15-year-old Anthony Tarbert, was killed that same night.

Dominic was a rising sophomore at Edmondson Westside Skill Center, studying auto mechanics. Remembered as well-mannered and caring, he had been a member of the Junior National Honor Society in middle school and played on the basketball team. Vigils were held for both boys as the community mourned.

A year after the shooting no arrests had been announced and the motive remained unclear; police asked the public for information. If anyone knew Dominic, Anthony, or saw something the night of July 31, 2011, please come forward with tips.
