Tyreke Basey Brown, a 22-year-old Black man visiting family from Jamaica, was fatally shot outside the Hammerjacks music venue in the 1300 block of Russell Street in Baltimore in the early hours of September 3, 2024. Police found him at about 1:02 a.m. with a gunshot wound; EMS took him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Known as Basey to friends and family, Brown had gone to Hammerjacks that night to see a favorite artist. Loved ones describe him as mild-mannered, kind, and warm. His family has also faced the added burden of arranging to return his body to Jamaica for burial, and a GoFundMe was set up to help with those expenses.

Baltimore Police Department Homicide Unit is investigating, but as of early September 2024 no suspects or motive had been publicly identified. Does anyone who was at Hammerjacks that night or who has information about activity on Russell Street around 1:00 a.m. on September 3 know anything that could help?
