BALTIMORE — A 42-year-old man has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with a fatal shooting earlier this month in the city’s Southwest District.
Tracy Jeter, of Baltimore, is accused of killing 29-year-old Travon Benson on December 14 in the 200 block of North Payson Street. The incident occurred at approximately 8:11 p.m., following a ShotSpotter alert that led police to the scene.
Officers found Benson suffering from gunshot wounds, and medics pronounced him dead on-site. Homicide detectives took over the investigation shortly after the discovery.
Jeter was apprehended and transported to the Central Booking Intake Facility, where he was officially charged with first-degree murder and is now being held without bail.
Baltimore Police have not released further details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
