Najee Ali Baker was 21 when he was shot and killed on January 20, 2018, at a party held at the Barn on Wake Forest University’s campus in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He was a walk-on football player at Winston-Salem State University and was taken to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. The shooting was described as an isolated incident and no immediate arrests were announced at the scene.

The Winston-Salem Police Department led the investigation with assistance from Wake Forest University and Winston-Salem State University police. On April 11, 2018, a 21-year-old, Jakier Shanique Austin, was arrested in Charlotte and charged in connection with the death; authorities reported charges including murder, possession of a gun on educational property, and carrying a concealed weapon. Austin was held without bond pending transfer to Forsyth County.

The community and Najee’s family continued to mourn. Does anyone who attended that event or who knew Najee have information that could still help the investigation?
