Hezikiah Wilson III, 38, was shot and killed outside his home on the 5600-block of Plymouth Road in Northeast Baltimore on the evening of Sunday, January 2, 2011. Known as an introvert who rarely left his house, Wilson was the primary caregiver for his diabetic mother and was described as someone who didn’t have enemies. Around 7:30 p.m. he stepped outside in his robe and slippers to walk his dog, Quincy, and an unknown assailant shot him in the shoulder; the single wound proved fatal.

Police say robbery was not the motive because Wilson had nothing of value on him. Neighbors were canvassed and the family made public appeals, but no one has come forward and no arrests have been announced. The motive remains unknown.

If anyone in the Plymouth Road neighborhood that night saw something unusual or knew Wilson, please share what you know with investigators.
