On May 6, 2024, at about 4:09 a.m., 33-year-old Garfield Redd was shot and killed while stopped at an intersection on Charles Street in Baltimore. Redd, a Black man driving a 2006 black Acura TLX, had stopped to let a pedestrian cross when surveillance footage later showed a man approach from behind, pull a sawed-off shotgun from a backpack, and fire a single shot through the driver’s side window. The blast struck Redd in the left eye. His vehicle then drifted off the road and struck a cable box on the sidewalk in the unit block of East 21st Street. Police found Redd inside the car and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators received an anonymous tip to Metro Crime Stoppers that identified a suspect by the street name Murder, and provided a cell phone number and an Instagram profile. That lead resulted in the arrest of 19-year-old Montay Anthony Levon Brown on May 15, 2024. Prosecutors later alleged the shooting was retaliatory, saying Redd had robbed Brown about two weeks earlier and that the men sold drugs at rival spots a street apart. Brown was charged with first-degree murder and firearm offenses; his first trial ended in a mistrial when the jury could not agree.

Does anyone have information about Garfield Redd’s life, his routines, or the area around Charles Street and East 21st Street that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
