An arranged Facebook Marketplace meeting to inspect a car ended in deadly gunfire for 18-year-old Carlos Carrazana-Ricardo. On the evening of November 26, 2023, the Lancaster, Pennsylvania high school senior and a friend drove to Baltimore to look at an Acura TL. After deciding not to buy the vehicle and preparing to leave from the 2700 block of Harlem Avenue, their car was struck from behind by gunfire. A bullet hit Carrazana-Ricardo in the head; despite his injury he shielded the friend in the driver’s seat. The friend drove away seeking help and crashed on the 2000 block of Winchester Street, where Baltimore Police found the critically wounded teenager and he was taken to University of Maryland Shock Trauma Hospital.

Investigators traced the phone number used to arrange the meeting to 18-year-old Marques Harris, and the surviving friend identified Harris in a photo lineup. A handgun was recovered during a search of Harris’s home. Harris was arrested and charged on December 2, 2023. If anyone has information about that November 26 meeting or the days leading up to it, please share what you know.
