On the evening of July 4, 2020, 24-year-old John Dennis Watts V of Baltimore was shot in Temple Hills, Maryland. Officers found Watts with multiple gunshot wounds in the 4600 block of Dallas Place at about 9:30 p.m.; he was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. He was Black/African American.

Three other people were wounded in the same incident; their injuries were reported as non-life-threatening. Detectives in the Homicide Unit have said the shooting did not appear to be random and that Watts may have been specifically targeted, but no suspects or arrests have been announced and the case remains open.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact investigators. Does anyone have details about John’s movements that night or about activity on Dallas Place around 9:30 p.m.?
