On the morning of November 25, 2023, around 5:05 a.m., 21-year-old Charles J. Johnson V and his 20-year-old fiancée, Eniyah Smith, were shot on the 300 block of Chapel Gate Lane in Southwest Baltimore. Both suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the torso and were taken to a nearby hospital, where they were pronounced dead.

The Baltimore Police Department’s Homicide Unit is handling the investigation. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; detectives are asking anyone with information to contact homicide investigators or submit anonymous tips through the Metro Crime Stoppers tip line.

An obituary for Charles, known as CJ, says he was a loving, laid-back person who graduated from Renaissance Academy, planned to attend barber school, and doted on his daughter. He and Eniyah were described as a devoted couple who loved the family they had created together.

If anyone knew Charles or Eniyah, or saw anything on Chapel Gate Lane the morning of November 25, can you share what you remember?
