He was last seen in his car in Baltimore. Someone probably killed him and dumped his body in a ditch. Find his car and you will probably find the killer. Sad because he was his mother's only child. A productive young man and contributing to society only to die like a dog and discarded in a ditch. Smh

Tragic story and strange. Where has he been for these 2 weeks? If trauma was observed on his body then he wasn't killed too long ago and certainly not 2 weeks ago. May God be with his mother and may God guide the investigators along so justice is served quickly.
