Jordan Taylor

On the morning of June 12, 2024, Baltimore police responded to a call about a shooting in the city's Southwest District. At approximately 9:39 a.m., officers arrived at the 1700 block of Ramsay Street, where they made a grim discovery in a backyard. Jordan Taylor, a 25-year-old Black male, was found lying in the yard with what appeared to be a fatal gunshot wound to his head. Responding medics pronounced him deceased at the scene.

Homicide detectives immediately began an investigation into the killing. Just over a week later, authorities identified a suspect. On June 20, 2024, at around 5 p.m., members of the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, working with the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Violence Unit, located and arrested 29-year-old Tyree Wells of Baltimore.

Detectives believe that Wells was responsible for shooting and killing Jordan Taylor. Following his arrest, Wells was transported to the Central Booking Intake Facility to be processed.

Tyree Wells has been charged with first-degree murder and additional unspecified offenses in connection with Taylor's death. As of the announcement of his arrest in June 2024, he was being held while awaiting further court proceedings.
