Known to his family and friends as “Twon,” Antoine Donnell Webster was a devoted father, a loving son, and a loyal friend. The 32-year-old Black man was the father of four children whom he loved dearly. Growing up in Baltimore, Maryland, he enjoyed watching and playing football and basketball, playing video games, and spending time with his loved ones. He was known as someone people could always count on, a man who would give the shirt off his back to someone in need.
On the afternoon of June 24, 2019, Antoine was at the Metro station in the 3300 block of Coldspring Lane when he was shot. Emergency responders transported him to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, but he died from his injuries. His death prompted an investigation by Baltimore homicide detectives and Maryland Transit Administration Police.
After a lengthy investigation, detectives identified two suspects. The first, 33-year-old Desmond Carter, was arrested on November 5, 2019.
Two months later, on January 15, 2020, authorities arrested the second suspect, 23-year-old Daekwon Walker, without incident in Dundalk. Both men were held without bail.
Prosecutors charged both Carter and Walker with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and firearm use in a violent crime. Walker faced an additional charge of having a handgun on his person, while Carter was also charged with having a handgun in a vehicle.
In June 2021, prosecutors offered both men plea deals of life in prison with all but 65 years suspended. Both Desmond Carter and Daekwon Walker rejected the offers, and their cases remained pending trial as of that month.
