William Dawayne Haskins was a 32-year-old Black/African American man found dead on October 4, 2008, in the 1800 block of Penrose Avenue in Baltimore. His death was ruled a homicide, but the specific circumstances of what happened that day have not been made public.

The Baltimore Police Department assigned the case to Detective John Mcgrath of the homicide unit. By early 2009 no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests announced; the case remained open. There are no reports of significant breakthroughs since then in the material provided, and the identity of whoever killed Haskins and the events leading to his death remain unknown.

If anyone knew William Haskins, saw activity around Penrose Avenue on or before October 4, 2008, or has information that could help, please come forward.
