On the evening of May 22, 2021, Kendell Jerome Cook, 39, was shot and killed at the GQ Barbershop on Hanover Street in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Cook, who owned and was working in the shop that night, reportedly recognized the intruder despite a ski mask and camouflage, calling out Mike just before the man opened fire.

The gunman was identified as Michael Baltimore, 47, a former employee who had worked for Cook until 2019. After shooting Cook, Baltimore also shot at another man, Anthony Lamar White, as he tried to escape from the back of the shop; White was seriously injured and was a key witness in the case. A manhunt followed Baltimore’s disappearance; he was added to the U.S. Marshals Service 15 Most Wanted list in June 2022 and was located and arrested in Florida in January 2023. After extradition, Baltimore pleaded guilty in January 2026 to third-degree murder and aggravated assault and received a 15-to-30-year sentence to be served consecutively to a 4-to-10-year sentence he was already serving for theft of a firearm.
