How Police Closed In
Members of the Eastern District homicide unit say they made their move on July 14, 2026. According to detectives, Fowlkes was taken into custody in the 5100 block of Terrace Drive, and Godwin was arrested in the 4700 block of Mount Hope Drive. Both men were transported to the Central Booking Intake Facility and formally charged with first‑degree murder. Baltimore Police shared the advisory on X and urged anyone with information to contact Eastern District detectives at 410‑396‑2433 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1‑866‑7LOCKUP.
Rap Sheets Reach Back To Their Teens
Fowlkes and Godwin were already known to law enforcement. Local reporting shows both were arrested as 16‑year‑olds in 2019 in connection with the armed robbery of Deputy Commissioner Daniel Murphy and were charged as adults at the time. WBAL detailed that earlier case and noted they were both 16 when those arrests were made.
What A First‑Degree Murder Charge Really Means
Under Maryland law, first‑degree murder covers deliberate, premeditated killings along with some deaths that happen during certain felonies. A conviction carries a potential life sentence and, under specific procedures, life without the possibility of parole. Those definitions and penalties are spelled out in the state’s murder statute. Maryland Code § 2‑201
What Happens Next In The Case
Both suspects remain in custody while the State’s Attorney’s Office reviews the investigation and decides whether to seek formal indictments. Investigators are still asking anyone with information to contact Eastern District homicide detectives at 410‑396‑2433 or to submit an anonymous tip to Metro Crime Stoppers at 1‑866‑7LOCKUP, according to the police advisory.
