Christopher Green

Christopher A. Green, a 31-year-old Black man from Baltimore, had just celebrated his birthday four days before his life was tragically taken. He lived on South Catherine Street, but on an autumn evening in 2016, he found himself in a neighborhood several miles from his home, where he would face a sudden and fatal burst of violence.

The attack occurred on Thursday, October 6, 2016, as daylight was beginning to fade. At approximately 5:40 p.m., Christopher was near the intersection of Dolphin and McCulloh streets in the city's Upton neighborhood. For reasons that have never been explained, an unknown assailant approached and shot him multiple times.

Police were called to the scene and found Christopher gravely wounded. Paramedics rushed him to a nearby hospital, but the damage was irreversible. He died from his injuries a short time after arriving, becoming one of several homicide victims in the city that week.

Homicide detectives with the Baltimore Police Department immediately began investigating the shooting. Despite their efforts, the person responsible for Christopher’s death has never been brought to justice. No arrests have been made in the case, no suspects have been named, and the public has not been given a motive for the crime. The investigation was active in the days following the murder in October 2016, but without new leads, the case has grown cold. Christopher Green's murder remains unsolved.
