On a cold morning in West Baltimore, the body of 55-year-old Melvin White, a Black man, was found unresponsive on a front porch in the 3000 block of Edmondson Avenue. Officers responded at about 9:50 a.m. on February 3, 2024, after a report of a possible overdose; medics pronounced White dead at the scene.

An autopsy the next day by the Medical Examiner’s Office found that White had died from a gunshot wound, changing the inquiry into a homicide investigation. Baltimore Police Homicide detectives took over the case and asked anyone with information to come forward.

Who knew Melvin White or his routines in that neighborhood, and can anyone provide information that might help investigators?
