Mark Vines, born October 31, 1986, was killed in Baltimore on the evening of October 29, 2008, in the 600 block of McKewin Avenue, two days before his 22nd birthday. Described by family as caring and compassionate, he had attended Baltimore City Public Schools and worked various jobs, including as a lifeguard and for FedEx. He loved music and spending time with his family.

His death was classified as a homicide and the Baltimore Police Department’s Homicide Unit took over the case. As of early 2009 the investigation remained open with a detective assigned; no arrests or suspects have been reported. The lack of resolution has left his family without closure.

If anyone knew Mark, saw him in Baltimore in late October 2008, or has information about the 600 block of McKewin Avenue that night, please come forward.
