Andre Hunt was killed in broad daylight last April 29. In addition to being a well-liked barber and volunteer, he had recently been sentenced to three years in federal prison for his role in distributing heroin in Freddie Gray’s neighborhood in West Baltimore.

Hunt, who reportedly attended high school in Milford Mill and was a volunteer with the local NAACP chapter, was shot in the 3800 block of Liberty Heights Avenue 10 days before he was to report to prison. On Jan. 14 Baltimore police released surveillance footage showing two men fleeing the scene of the crime.

Hunt’s sister, Lauren Dotson, after the footage was posted wrote on Facebook, “I just want to know what was on the minds of these people when they prepared to kill my brother? Was there a regret? Was there a minute that they thought maybe we could handle this different? I’ve been in such a great place my faith in God gave me strength to heal, and now this!!!! I hate to see them calmly walking to end such a great life!!! Who gave them the right?!!!”
