Jerome Anthony Waters, 32, was fatally shot on the night of Friday, January 4, 2008, in the 2800 block of Kentucky Avenue in Baltimore. The killing was one of the city’s early homicides that year; Baltimore recorded 234 killings in 2008. Jerome was a father of two and the son of Reverend Robin Taylor Waters. His brother is Domonick Waters.

Family and friends held a visitation at Calvin B. Scruggs Funeral Home and a funeral service at Waters A.M.E. Church before he was buried at Mt. Zion Cemetery. Detective Mark Veney of the Baltimore Police Department handled the investigation. A January 2008 blog post said police suspected the killing may have been drug-related, but no official confirmation or additional details were released and the case remained open. No arrests or suspect identifications have been reported through early 2009.

If anyone knew Jerome or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
