Kevin Morrison was 17 when he was fatally shot in the early hours of Christmas Eve, December 24, 2024. The shooting happened about 1:01 a.m. in the 1900 block of North Forest Park Avenue at the Kernan Gardens Apartments in Northwest Baltimore. He was one of two people struck in the incident; a 21-year-old man was also wounded and taken to a hospital.

Morrison, a Black male and a student at Patterson High School, had planned to enroll in the Job Corps the month after his death and was close to his 18th birthday. Emergency medical services transported both victims, but Morrison was pronounced dead from his gunshot wounds. The Baltimore Police Department is investigating; as of late December 2024 no suspect information or arrests had been released. A reward of up to $8,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest.

Morrison’s mother and grandmother have spoken publicly about their grief and urged anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone in the Kernan Gardens area that night have information that could help investigators?
