Barakaat Kareem Faruq, a 20-year-old Black man, was shot in the head on February 10, 2009, while sitting in front of a residence in the 2100 block of Presbury Street in Baltimore. The shooting happened at about 8:57 p.m.; he was taken to a nearby hospital and died there roughly a half-hour later.

The Baltimore Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but no public announcements about arrests, charges, or identified suspects have been reported. Motive and other case details have not been released. The investigation appears to have stalled and the case remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Barakaat’s movements that evening or has information about people who frequented that block in February 2009, please come forward to help bring answers to his family.
