Kipton Degree, a 23-year-old African-American man, was found with multiple gunshot wounds on January 9, 2009, in Baltimore’s Park Heights neighborhood and later pronounced dead at a local hospital. Reports place the shooting in the 5000 block of Denmore Avenue while other accounts identify the 5000 block of Dickey Hill Road, a contradiction that has persisted in available descriptions of the scene.

Detectives encountered immediate difficulty assembling a clear case because few witnesses came forward, leaving investigators with limited leads. No public announcement of arrests or identified suspects has been made, and the investigation has since grown cold. The circumstances of Kipton Degree’s murder remain unresolved.

If anyone knew Kipton or has information about the shooting on January 9, 2009, please share what you know.
