Phillip Dewayne Holmes, a 22-year-old Black man, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds on March 23, 2010, in the Northwood neighborhood of Baltimore. The shooting occurred in the 2200 block of Roselawn Avenue.

His mother, Gracie, spoke out after his death about the toll of illegal guns and street violence on families and neighborhoods. Despite investigative efforts, no arrest was announced and no suspects were publicly identified; the case has since grown cold and authorities have periodically asked the public for tips.

The family continues to live with an unresolved loss and a hope for answers. If anyone has information about Phillip’s death or the events around March 23, 2010, please come forward.
