On August 17, 2023, 18-year-old Robert Michael Wagner Jr. was shot on West Cherry Bloom Way in Baltimore. Officers responding to a reported car crash around 11:35 p.m. found Wagner inside one of two damaged vehicles in the 700 block of West Saratoga Street with gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries on August 23, 2023. Investigators treated the incident as a homicide and processed a crime scene on West Cherry Bloom Way.

On November 30, 2023, a 15-year-old, identified as Samijae Canada, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, felony use of a firearm, and firearm possession as a minor; prosecutors planned to try the case in adult court. At a June 2025 trial prosecutors showed surveillance footage they said tracked a group approaching Wagner’s vehicle and showed Canada armed, along with DNA evidence tied to a firearm; the defense contested the clarity of the video and the prosecution’s timeline.
