Baltimore homicide detectives are once again asking Oliver residents to speak up about a deadly Nov. 4, 2025, shooting that left a man fatally wounded on the 1500 block of E. Lanvale Street. Officers say the victim was found with multiple gunshot wounds and later died at a local hospital. Months later, investigators say they still have no arrests and are urging anyone who knows something to finally come forward.
Detectives Renew Call For Tips
Homicide detectives said anyone with information can submit anonymous tips through the P3 Tips mobile app, by calling Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP, or by using the organization's website. As reported by FOX45, tips that result in felony charges and an arrest may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $8,000.
Victim Identified
Police later identified the victim as 29-year-old Joshua Pierce-Morris, officials said. Hoodline first covered the Nov. 4 killing in November, and local reporting from Baltimore Witness shows detectives took control of the investigation and provided the detectives' tip line, 410-396-2100.
The Scene
Authorities say Eastern District officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert just before 6 p.m. on Nov. 4 and found a man with multiple gunshot wounds on the 1500 block of E. Lanvale Street. Crime-scene photos included in local coverage show homicide detectives examining a spent cartridge casing at the scene, per FOX45.

Anyone with information is asked to call Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP, use the P3 Tips app, or submit an online tip. Metro Crime Stoppers notes tips are anonymous and outlines reward guidelines on its website. See Metro Crime Stoppers of Maryland for submission options and reward details. Detectives said even small details, such as a vehicle description, a brief timeline or a dashcam clip, could be the lead that breaks the case.
