In the early morning of October 25, 1997, 38-year-old Steven Lamont Whitney was shot several times in the 1000 block of Fairground Drive in Salisbury, Maryland. Officers responding to a call around 1:30 a.m. found Whitney alive and rushed him to a nearby hospital; he was later pronounced dead. Investigators determined a large-caliber handgun was used.

Witnesses described a man seen with a handgun just before the shooting: a light-skinned Black male, possibly of partial Italian descent, about 5 feet 9 inches to 6 feet tall with a slim to medium build, estimated at 25 to 30 years old and wearing a tan toboggan with red stripes. He was reportedly known as Alvino or Al and fled in an older dark-colored Oldsmobile Delta 88 with D.C. plates; another dark van or SUV was seen leaving with headlights off. A composite sketch was released but the case has grown cold and no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in the Salisbury or Washington D.C. area ever recognize the description or the vehicle linked to this killing?
