Darius Pittman, 23, was found dead at a residence on the 500 block of Walker Street in Aberdeen, Maryland, after police responded to a report of cardiac arrest on the afternoon of Sunday, September 10, 2023. Officers discovered Pittman had suffered a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators concluded the shooting was not random and opened a homicide investigation, believing Pittman was killed on the morning of September 9, 2023.

Detectives traced some of his last movements and say he visited Baltimore City late on September 8 before returning to Harford County. The shooting was the only homicide in Aberdeen in 2023. Pittman’s mother, Eldonette Pittman, has appealed to the public for information. As of early 2024, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests announced; Metro Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

If anyone knew Darius, saw him in late August or early September 2023, or has information about his movements between Baltimore City and Harford County, please contact the Aberdeen Police Department or Metro Crime Stoppers.
