Dwaune Evans

In the early hours of a spring morning in Baltimore, the life of Dwaune Evans was cut short by gunfire. He was a 26-year-old African-American man living in a city that was experiencing a wave of violence.

The attack occurred just before 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 26, 2012. Evans was in the 600 block of Pitcher Street, near the Shake and Bake Family Fun Center in the city’s Upton neighborhood, when he was shot in the chest.

Gravely wounded, Evans managed to struggle for two blocks before he collapsed in the 1200 block of North Fremont Avenue. He was taken to a city hospital for treatment, but his injury proved fatal. He was pronounced dead at 2:00 a.m., just half an hour after he was shot.

No suspects or motives have been publicly identified in the shooting. The only available information about the case comes from news reports published in the days immediately following the incident in May 2012. The killing of Dwaune Evans remains an unsolved homicide.
