David Andrew Rankin was 21 when he was found dead in the 3700 block of Ravenwood Avenue in Baltimore on Sunday, March 23, 2008. His death was recorded as the city’s 39th homicide that year.

The Baltimore Police Department handled the case and listed it as open the following year, with Detective Frank Miller assigned. A list of 2008 homicides names a Tavon Smith as a suspect in Rankin’s death, but it does not say whether Smith was ever charged or arrested. Specific circumstances of the killing, including the cause of death, have not been widely publicized.

Anyone with information about Rankin, that night on Ravenwood Avenue, or the investigation is asked to share what they know.
