On the evening of June 4, 2023, 19-year-old K’mauri Ebanks was shot multiple times on the 500 block of Orchard Street in the Seton Hill neighborhood of Baltimore. Police arrived around 8:39 p.m. and found him with life-threatening wounds; medics transported him to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Reports say he had been carrying gifts from a baby shower earlier that day and had been shot at least 35 times.

Ebanks, born November 5, 2003, was a senior and the starting quarterback at Digital Harbor High School, described by his coach as a student of the game whose play memory helped him excel. He was due to graduate days after his death and had been at a baby shower with his pregnant girlfriend; the couple planned to name their daughter Amora. His family remembered him as a son, brother, and grandson, and he later received an honorary diploma from his high school.
