Stephen Maurice Wheeler III, 20, was shot on November 11, 2025, and later died of his injuries. Baltimore Police were first called to the 2900 block of Rueckert Avenue at about 1:31 p.m.; investigators subsequently found Wheeler on the 2300 block of Alisa Avenue with a gunshot wound to his upper body. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition and was later pronounced deceased.

Loved ones described Wheeler as stylish yet nonchalant, flashy but never arrogant. Authorities have not released a motive, suspect description, or any arrests; the homicide is part of a cluster of six homicides the department reported between late October and mid-November 2025. Few details about the shooting circumstances have been made public.
