On the morning of January 19, 2025, Hassan Howard, 43, was shot and killed while sitting inside a Dodge Ram in the 400 block of Washburn Avenue in Baltimore’s Southern District. At about 8:45 a.m. two assailants reportedly approached the truck on foot and opened fire; Howard and a 35-year-old man were both struck. Both were taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where Howard was pronounced dead from multiple gunshot wounds to his arm, chest, and neck — investigators later recorded 23 gunshot wounds in total.

Prosecutors say the shooters fled in a dark-colored Hyundai Kona and homicide detectives recovered 34 9mm shell casings at the scene. Surveillance footage and license plate reader data led authorities to identify brothers Darren and Dylon Tomlinson as suspects; Darren Tomlinson was arrested on March 19, 2025 and charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and related gun offenses. No verdict has been reported.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see the Hyundai Kona that morning or recognize either brother near Washburn Avenue?
