Case File Preview
On July 11, 2019, a triple shooting erupted outside a shopping center in the 5600 block of The Alameda in Baltimore. Sixteen-year-old Travis Chance Jr. was killed, while two women were wounded in the same attack.
Prosecutors later said 24 rounds were fired from two different weapons.
One of them was allegedly a rifle painted gold.
The Gold AR
That rifle became the center of a much larger evidence trail.
Investigators eventually pulled together surveillance, photographs and material from an earlier violent incident that prosecutors believed connected back to the same distinctive weapon. The full case file breaks down how that connection was built, what the ballistic evidence actually established, and the major question surrounding the gold rifle that the public record still does not answer cleanly.
The Surveillance Trail
The prosecution did not rely on one camera angle.
Footage from separate scenes, distinctive visual details and a suspect vehicle were pulled into the same investigation. Prosecutors argued that certain features kept appearing across the evidence.
The defense challenged that identification theory and pointed to gaps the State still had to explain.
The Case Against Three Men
By 2026, Phillip Morton and Diamante Teal had been convicted in separate proceedings connected to the killing of Travis Chance Jr. A third alleged participant, William Andre Stewart III, still faced a separate case under the latest public schedule.
Behind those convictions sits a deeper record involving disputed evidence, competing interpretations and investigative details that were never fully explained in public summaries.
