On the afternoon of February 2, 2025, a verbal dispute on the 2500 block of East Biddle Street in Baltimore escalated into a shooting that left 37-year-old Troy Kavanaugh dead. Police say shot-spotter alerts brought officers to the scene at about 3:15 p.m.; Kavanaugh was found inside his 2015 Nissan Altima with gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Investigators identified 33-year-old Sean Lloyd of Baltimore as the suspected shooter. Police allege Lloyd and Kavanaugh argued at the passenger side of Kavanaugh’s vehicle before Lloyd fired through the front windshield, striking Kavanaugh, then fled. Eyewitness testimony and surveillance footage played roles in the investigation, and an eyewitness positively identified Lloyd from a photographic array. Detectives with the Warrant Apprehension Task Force arrested Lloyd on March 21, 2025, and charged him with first-degree murder.

The case reached trial, but on November 4, 2025, an outburst by a family member during witness testimony prompted the judge to declare a mistrial and postpone proceedings; a new trial was set for late January 2026. Does anyone have information about this shooting or knew Troy Kavanaugh?
