Baltimore Police are actively seeking the public's assistance in identifying two individuals suspected of involvement in a homicide that occurred earlier this month within the city's Howard Park neighborhood. The incident took place shortly after midnight on October 2, 2026, in the 3500 block of Plateau Avenue in northwest Baltimore. Upon arrival, officers responded to reports of a shooting and discovered a male victim suffering from gunshot wounds. Emergency medics were dispatched to the scene but were unable to save the victim, who was later identified as 22-year-old Darnell Riley III. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Following the initial investigation, police blocked off two streets and an alleyway with crime scene tape to secure the area for further evidence collection. Homicide detectives are currently working to identify the two suspects and have released surveillance video and photographs to the public to aid in their identification. The investigation remains active as authorities continue to gather information. The Baltimore Police Department is urging anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspects or the events leading up to the shooting to come forward.

For those wishing to remain anonymous, tips can be submitted to Metro Crime Stoppers through the P3 Tips mobile application, by calling 1-866-7LOCKUP, or by submitting an online text tip at metrocrimestoppers.org. The public is encouraged to provide any relevant details that could assist in the identification and apprehension of the suspects. If a tip provided to Metro Crime Stoppers results in felony charges and an arrest, the tipster may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $8,000.
