Javaun Simmons was 31 when he was shot and killed in Baltimore on June 22, 2025. Police say officers responded about 1:36 p.m. to reports of gunfire in the 2200 block of Christian Street and found Simmons unresponsive with apparent gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

The incident was part of a double homicide. A second victim, 24-year-old Danelo Punnett, was located nearby in the 2100 block of Wilkens Avenue with gunshot wounds and also died.

Does anyone who was in the area that afternoon or who knew Javaun have information that could help investigators?
