Darnell Gerald Gaither, 34, was shot and killed on the evening of February 8, 2007, in Baltimore. Around 8:40 p.m. in the 800 block of East 43rd Street, shots were fired as Gaither was leaving a recreation center where he coached and mentored youth. He was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital but died of his injuries.

Gaither’s death was one of 17 homicides that month in Baltimore. Reports from that period indicate most of those cases remained unsolved, and there have been no reports of arrests or identified suspects in Gaither’s murder. The community remembers him for his work with young people and the loss remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Gaither, his routines, or saw activity on East 43rd Street that night, please share what was observed.
