Walter Leon Baylor, 32, was killed by gunfire on October 5, 2018, in the 300 block of 15th Street NE in Northeast Washington, D.C. Officers heard the shots around 5:39 p.m., found Baylor with a gunshot wound, and he was taken to a hospital where he died. Authorities initially misidentified him as Walter Bailey before correcting the record.

Police arrested 25-year-old Rodney Wayne Kinard the same day. Kinard was charged with second-degree murder while armed; later court action resolved the case with a conviction for voluntary manslaughter while armed and a prison sentence that includes a minimum term before parole eligibility and supervised release afterward. Baylor’s family said he had no known enemies and the motive was not publicly disclosed.

Does anyone from the neighborhood remember hearing or seeing anything that evening that could shed light on what happened?
