Anthony D. McMichael, Jr., 36, was fatally shot in Baltimore in the winter of 2025. He was brought to a local hospital with gunshot wounds on the morning of January 24 and died after surgery. Investigators traced the shooting to the 3000 block of Oakley Avenue in the Northern District.

Homicide detectives later identified 24-year-old Zion Clayton of Baltimore as the alleged shooter. Clayton was located and arrested near Braeside Road and Old Frederick Road on February 21 and taken to Central Booking. He was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and several handgun violations. Clayton rejected a plea offer on first-degree murder and felony firearm use, and the trial schedule was pushed back because multiple prosecution witnesses were unavailable.

If anyone knew McMichael, saw activity on Oakley Avenue that morning, or has information about the shooting or witnesses, please come forward.
