Daivon Evans

In the early hours of September 13, 2017, the life of 34-year-old Daivon Evans was tragically cut short in Baltimore, Maryland. Southwest District patrol officers responded to a call at approximately 1:09 a.m. regarding a cutting in the 700 block of Popular Grove Street. Upon their arrival, they discovered Evans lying in the grass, bleeding profusely from what was later determined to be multiple stab wounds. He was immediately transported to a local hospital, where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.

The preliminary investigation pointed to an assault that resulted in the fatal stabbing. For months, the case remained under investigation as homicide detectives worked to identify a suspect. The breakthrough came on February 14, 2018, when the Baltimore Warrant Apprehension detectives took 23-year-old Eric Carter into custody. Carter was formally charged with first and second-degree murder, as well as first and second-degree assault in connection with Evans' death. Following his arrest, he was transported to the Central Booking Intake Facility.
