Raynard Johnson was 24 when he was killed on July 4, 2010, in the Mondawmin neighborhood of Baltimore. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds, one of several victims during a period when the city was experiencing high levels of violent crime.

Investigators reported immediate difficulty developing leads. No arrests were announced in the shooting’s aftermath, and police encountered a lack of witness cooperation that hampered the inquiry. The case later became cold, with no suspects publicly named and the family left without answers.

Johnson’s death underscores ongoing problems of violence and the fraught relationship between community and police in parts of Baltimore. If anyone has information that could help shed light on what happened that day, please come forward to the authorities.
