Raymond Woodland, a 20-year-old African American man from Baltimore, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the 2100 block of Boyd Street in the early morning hours of December 26, 2010. Emergency services took him to a local trauma center where he died; his killing was recorded as Baltimore’s 221st homicide that year. The homicide investigation remains open with no suspects publicly identified and no arrests announced.

Woodland had been involved in a separate violent incident a year earlier. In December 2009, during a birthday party at a downtown Baltimore hotel, he allegedly shot another young man in the face with a semiautomatic weapon. Two friends of that victim disarmed and severely beat Woodland, leaving him in critical condition. Those two men were charged with attempted murder but were later released by a judge. Authorities publicly said they intended to charge Woodland after his hospital release, but the Baltimore Police Department later acknowledged failing to file charges.

Were there people who knew Woodland or who were at either the hotel or the Boyd Street area that can shed light on these events?
