On the afternoon of Monday, March 6, 2023, 16-year-old Izaiah Carter was shot in the head at Joseph E. Lee Park on East Pratt Street in Baltimore and later died at a hospital. A student at Patterson High School and a JROTC cadet, Carter was remembered by friends and family as kind, shy, and goofy. He worked at a restaurant where his father was a chef and had a close family who frequently checked on him.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect, 23-year-old Roger Alexander Alvarado-Mendoza, and tracked him to southern Texas; he was arrested there on March 21, 2023, while attempting to leave the country and was returned to Baltimore to face murder charges. Police said they believed the shooting followed a dispute, though no motive was publicly disclosed.

Does anyone who knew Izaiah or who was in Patterson Park that day have information that could help investigators?
