Antonio Lee, 19, was killed by gunfire in the late afternoon of August 11, 2023, at the busy intersection in the 1800 block of 33rd Street in northeast Baltimore. Officers responding after a ShotSpotter alert found him with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. Another 19-year-old arrived at a local hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and said he had been shot at the same location. The shooting is believed to have begun in a dispute between rival groups from different parts of east Baltimore, and it did not occur in one of the city’s designated no-squeegee zones.

Lee worked as a squeegee worker and had spoken about leaving for a safer city and pursuing cooking and baking; he had worked at McDonald’s and was enrolled in an anti-violence program. He had also suffered family losses, having lost a brother to gun violence and a sister to cancer. No arrests have been announced and the Baltimore Police Department has not released suspect information.
