Baltimore Police yesterday pushed out a short surveillance clip, asking the public to help put a name to a person they believe is connected to an ongoing homicide investigation. Detectives say they are hoping a fresh look at the footage might jog someone’s memory and turn a quiet case into one with actual leads. The department urged anyone with information to call investigators. It reminded residents that if they think they are seeing this person in real time, the move is to call 911, not play detective.
Police Post And What It Shows
According to Baltimore Police, the clip went up Friday with a straightforward caption: “Homicide detectives need your help identifying the individual seen in this video.” The brief social post keeps details tight. There is no mention of where the homicide happened, who the victim was, or other case specifics. Detectives say they are still working through the evidence and are banking on public tips to help fill in the blanks.

How To Tip Investigators
Anyone with information is urged to call Baltimore Police Homicide detectives at 410-396-2100, or to submit an anonymous tip to Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP or through its online forms at Metro Crime Stoppers, according to the Baltimore Police newsroom. The department’s releases routinely point people to these hotlines and web forms for anonymous submissions. If you believe you are looking at the person right now, police say to dial 911 immediately rather than approach them.
Why Releases Matter
Posting short surveillance clips has become a standard move for Baltimore investigators, who regularly use social media to nudge stalled cases forward. Officials and local outlets have highlighted other incidents this year where similar posts helped generate leads in shootings and homicides. For instance, WMAR covered a Marion Street case in which police shared video of people of interest and offered a reward for information, and a June release tied to a Cameron Road homicide similarly relied on public help. Detectives say even seemingly minor tips, such as a name, a vehicle description, or a rough timeframe, can open new lines of inquiry.
If You Have Footage
Anyone who thinks they have video or photos that might help is asked to keep the original files and be ready to share them with detectives if they call. The Baltimore Police Department and Metro Crime Stoppers both note that tips can be submitted anonymously by phone or online, and that even a single detail can be enough to nudge an investigation forward.
