Baltimore Cops Plead For Clues In Treyvon Matthews Killing

Baltimore homicide detectives are once again asking the public to step up, renewing an appeal Wednesday for help identifying the suspects and a vehicle tied to a January triple shooting that killed 25‑year‑old Treyvon Matthews. The gunfire erupted on Jan. 15 in the 2100 block of West Patapsco Avenue, leaving Matthews dead and two other men wounded.

In a post on X published June 10, the Baltimore Police Department said homicide detectives are seeking tips that could point to the people or vehicle involved. According to the department’s official media advisory for the Jan. 15 incident, Southern District officers responded around 9:34 p.m. to the 2100 block of W. Patapsco Avenue and found three male victims. One of them, later identified as Matthews, was pronounced dead at the scene (Baltimore Police Department).

Shooting and victims

The triple shooting unfolded at the Hollinswood Park shopping center, where the gunfire left one man dead and two others hospitalized. The surviving victims, reported as a 24‑year‑old man and a 38‑year‑old man, were taken to area hospitals in stable condition. CBS Baltimore reported that no arrests were made at the scene as investigators worked to process evidence.

How to share tips

Anyone with information is asked to contact Baltimore Homicide Detectives at 410‑396‑2100 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1‑866‑7LOCKUP, according to the department’s advisory. The X post also notes the official Baltimore Police account is not monitored 24/7 and reiterates those tip lines for anonymous leads.

Why this matters

The renewed request comes amid scrutiny of January’s cluster of shootings that briefly interrupted a longer downward trend in city homicides, as noted by local trackers. Police and community leaders say even a small piece of video, a partial license plate number, or a bystander’s memory can be the missing detail that closes a homicide investigation.

As the probe into Matthews’ killing continues, officials say they will follow up on credible leads and are again urging anyone with footage or information to come forward. Anonymous online tips can also be submitted through Metro Crime Stoppers of Maryland.
