On March 28, 2024, 47-year-old Baltimore resident David Winchester Jr. was abducted from the city and taken to Annapolis. His body was found that morning at about 8:30 a.m. in a wooded area near the track and field of Wiley H. Bates Middle School on Spa Road. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide, listing two gunshot wounds to the back of the head as the cause of death.

Investigators linked the abduction to a violent home invasion at Winchester’s mother’s Southwest Baltimore residence. Two men forced their way in, demanded money and claimed they were holding Winchester. During the attack one intruder chased Winchester’s sister upstairs and fired a gun into the locked bedroom. The assailants left without money and took Winchester in a blue Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Authorities identified three Baltimore suspects: Marquis Mayo, 35; Jamar Fincher, 37; and Monae Fincher, 36. In February 2025 a jury found Marquis Mayo guilty of first-degree murder, kidnapping and a handgun charge. Does anyone who knew David or who was in Southwest Baltimore that morning have information that could shed more light on what happened?
