Charlie Williams, a 25-year-old African-American man, was fatally shot on November 8, 2009, on West 20th Street in Baltimore. His death occurred during a year when the city experienced a surge in homicides and persistent gun violence that disproportionately affected many neighborhoods.

Investigators encountered significant challenges in this case, including difficulty finding witnesses willing to provide information. Despite work by the Baltimore Police Department, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests were announced, and the case appears to have gone cold.

For family and friends, the lack of answers has prolonged the trauma of a preventable death. If anyone has information about Charlie Williams or the shooting on West 20th Street, please come forward to assist the investigation.
