On the morning of October 15, 2022, 14-year-old Kaimani Andre Dove was shot inside an apartment on Waverley Drive in Frederick, Maryland. Officers arrived after a report of a shooting at about 10:38 a.m. and found Kaimani suffering from a gunshot wound. He was treated at the scene, transported to a local hospital, and pronounced deceased.

Police described the shooting as an isolated incident with no broader threat to the public. Detectives later determined the firearm discharged while in the possession of a male juvenile who was known to Kaimani. In May 2023 that juvenile was charged with involuntary manslaughter, minor in possession of a firearm, and reckless endangerment; his identity was not released because of his age.

Kaimani was a ninth-grade student at Governor Thomas Johnson High School. His mother remembered him as good-hearted, helpful, and someone who loved anime, sports, and making people laugh. If anyone has information about what happened that morning, please share it with Frederick Police.
