Demetris Donnell Sr. Downing, a 25-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on July 28, 2007, at about 6:52 p.m. in the 2100 block of McHenry Street in Baltimore. The case is recorded among the many homicides that year tied to gun violence in the city.

Details about what happened before the shooting and any possible motive remain unclear. The investigation faced challenges common to many Baltimore homicides of that period, including limited evidence and difficulties securing witness cooperation. No arrests or suspects have been publicly named in connection with his death.

Does anyone who lived in that neighborhood at the time or who remembers seeing something that evening have information that could help bring answers for his family?
