What Detectives Put Out Publicly
In a post on X on March 20, 2026, the Baltimore Police wrote that "Homicide detectives are seeking assistance" and attached a transcript with case identifiers. That attachment lists case numbers CC# 241202433 and 24h186 and notes that the case file was created on March 9. The post directed potential tipsters to Metro Crime Stoppers and said tipsters may be eligible for a cash reward if their information leads to an arrest and felony charges.
Victim, Timeline And Local Coverage
Local reporting and homicide trackers list McDowell among the December 2024 victims. WMAR-2 News shows he was found shot on December 9, 2024, in the 4000 block of West Belvedere Avenue and included his death in a monthlong roundup of shootings and homicides across the city. So far, authorities have not released many more details about the circumstances of the shooting.
How Metro Crime Stoppers Handles Tips
Metro Crime Stoppers says tips must be submitted through its hotline, website, or the P3 Tips mobile app to be eligible for any reward, and that tipsters remain anonymous through the P3 system. The organization requires police to present details of the tip and any arrest before a reward is authorized, and payments are made after board approval. While the Baltimore Police posting advertised up to $8,000 for this case, Metro Crime Stoppers notes that final reward amounts and eligibility depend on how the tip contributed to an arrest and charges.
How To Share Information
Anyone with information is asked to call the Baltimore Police homicide tip line at 410-396-2100 or to submit an anonymous tip through Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7-LOCKUP. Authorities said social posts will not substitute for a formal P3 tip and encouraged witnesses with video or other evidence to share it through the tip system. Homicide detectives say the investigation is active and urged anyone who knows something, no matter how small, to come forward.
