Man turns himself in for Maisel Court murder weeks after deadly Southern District shooting
BALTIMORE, MD – Nearly a month after a man was gunned down in broad daylight on Maisel Court, a 20-year-old Baltimore resident has surrendered to police and now faces a first-degree murder charge in connection with the killing.
Nasaiah Bryan turned himself in at Baltimore Police Headquarters on Thursday without incident. Detectives say he is responsible for the fatal shooting of 31-year-old Oshay Khalil Smith, who was found with multiple gunshot wounds on the afternoon of October 1 in the 2500 block of Maisel Court.
Smith was transported to a local hospital following the shooting, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. His death marked yet another fatal shooting in Baltimore’s Southern District, an area that continues to grapple with persistent gun violence.
Investigators developed Bryan as a suspect during the course of their investigation but did not immediately release details regarding motive or evidence. He was processed at the Central Booking Intake Facility and formally charged with first-degree murder.
The arrest comes 30 days after the fatal shooting, which occurred just after 1 p.m., prompting an immediate homicide investigation. Police did not report any other injuries in the incident.
Court records have not yet indicated whether Bryan has obtained legal representation, and no upcoming court date has been announced.
