Eric Jennings, 52, was shot and killed late on May 22, 2023, in the 2300 block of West Franklin Street in Baltimore. A ShotSpotter alert around 11:42 p.m. brought Western District officers to the scene, where Jennings was found with a gunshot wound. Medics transported him to a hospital, but he was pronounced dead. Investigators recovered a single shell casing, a cigarette butt, and a cigarillo at the scene.

Homicide detectives identified 24-year-old Cornelius Williams as the primary suspect. Less than a month after Jennings’s death Williams was involved in a separate shooting incident on the 700 block of Poplar Grove Street, during which he shot at security guards and later barricaded himself inside an apartment before surrendering. On May 17, 2024, Williams pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in Jennings’s death and to first-degree assault for the later shooting; the judge sentenced him to 30 years in prison with a concurrent term, plus five years supervised probation and gun offender registration upon release.

Does anyone have information about Jennings’s movements that night or saw activity in the 2300 block of West Franklin Street?
