A 16-year-old male, Jaythan Day, was shot and killed on the evening of Friday, March 6, 2026, inside a residence in the 1400 block of West Old Cold Spring Lane in the Medfield neighborhood of North Baltimore. First responders found him unresponsive around 6:25 p.m.; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later pronounced dead. The house where the shooting occurred was not his residence; Jaythan lived with his sister in a home for teenagers.

Originally from Alabama, Jaythan moved to Baltimore while his father, Dennis Day, was in a recovery program in California. He attended Mergenthaler Vocational-Technical High School. The family believes the shooting was related to a robbery and that Jaythan was shot by someone he knew. As of early March 2026 no suspects or arrests have been publicly identified and the Baltimore Police Department is asking the public for information.

Did anyone in the Medfield area on March 6 see or hear anything that could help investigators?
