In the early morning hours of June 3, 2014, the body of 40-year-old Ricky Carlos Hall, a male from Baltimore, Maryland, was discovered in a field in the 1400 block of Fillmore Street. Paramedics were called to the scene and pronounced him dead. Investigators reported that Hall had suffered from significant trauma.
Ricky Carlos Hall was also known to many as 'Kandy' and was a transgender woman. Her death was one of three homicides that occurred within a 24-hour period in Baltimore, prompting a broad investigation by the city's police department. The medical examiner's office was tasked with performing an autopsy to determine the official cause of death.
The investigation into Hall's murder caused significant concern within Baltimore's transgender community, especially as it was followed by the killing of another transgender woman, Mia Henderson, just five weeks later.
Authorities at the time stated they were looking into a possible connection between the two cases. While an arrest was eventually made in the murder of Mia Henderson, there have been no publicly announced arrests or identification of any suspects in the death of Ricky Carlos Hall. The case, according to available online sources, remains unsolved. Police in 2014 had appealed to the public for any information that might lead to an arrest and offered a reward.
