On the night of November 28, 1983, 28-year-old Danny Baker was found shot to death in the driver’s seat of his own car on a quiet Cedar Rapids street near the B Avenue ramp to I-380. The discovery came on a Monday; beyond the location and manner of death, few concrete details about his final hours have been recorded publicly.

Investigators worked the case but encountered very limited leads. Who Baker was with or what he was doing before he was found remains unclear. The investigation later went cold and the case is still open; no arrests have been announced and no suspects have been identified.

Anyone who knew Danny, saw activity around the B Avenue/I-380 ramp on November 28, 1983, or has information that could help resolve this cold case is asked to come forward.
