Damon Smith was 40 when his body was found in an alley in the 5000 block of Denmore Avenue in Baltimore on March 11, 2007.

His death occurred during a year of sharply increased violence in the city, and detectives handling homicides faced a heavy caseload. No information about suspects or arrests in Smith’s case has been disclosed, and the trail to whoever killed him appears to have gone cold.

For his family and community, the unanswered questions about his final moments and the identity of those responsible remain painful. If anyone has information that could help solve Damon Smith’s homicide, please come forward to investigators.
