Cynceray Washington-Greene was 52 when she was shot at a residence in the 2800 block of Clifton Park Terrace in Baltimore on July 8, 2023. Police found her with life-threatening gunshot wounds and she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

A 56-year-old man, Neil Cole-El, was taken into custody at the scene. Investigators say he first told a story about an unidentified man selling him a gun that accidentally discharged, but detectives found a firearm hidden in a vent and noted deleted home surveillance footage. Reports say his account changed and he later admitted to illegally possessing the gun and to it accidentally discharging while he was handling it; his family said fear led him to try to cover up what happened. Washington-Greene’s family expressed profound grief and disbelief over her death.

Does anyone have information about Washington-Greene, her life in Baltimore, or what happened that night?
