Michael Simmons was 19 when he was killed in Baltimore on Thursday, December 20, 2007, five days before Christmas. His death came during a year that saw a dramatic rise in violence in the city, which recorded over 280 homicides in 2007.

Details about where or how Simmons was killed have not been publicly released, and no suspects or arrests have been reported. Investigators at the time faced limited resources and low witness cooperation, factors cited as contributing to a large number of unsolved cases from that year. The case remains open as part of Baltimore’s cold files from 2007.

If anyone has information about Michael Simmons or the circumstances of his death, please share what you know with the investigators handling the case.
