Fatal Shooting Suspect Arrested On 18th Birthday In Middle River: Baltimore Police

MIDDLE RIVER, MD — A Middle River murder suspect was arrested on his 18th birthday, the Baltimore Police Department announced Monday.

Officers accused Davion Foreman of killing Kierra Tripp, 28, after a dispute during a birthday party at a Baltimore hotel in the 800 block of North Wolfe Street on Nov. 17, 2024.

Authorities said they were called to the hotel around 1:29 a.m. for a report of gunfire.

Police said they found the unresponsive victim inside the hotel suffering from a gunshot wound.

Medics pronounced Tripp dead on the scene, the press release said.

Detectives said they arrested Foreman last Thursday, the day he shed his juvenile status for adulthood, at a home in the 2200 block of Graythorn Road. That's located in the Middle River neighborhood of Hawthorne.

Officers said they took Foreman to the Central Booking Intake Facility where he was charged with first-degree murder.

Authorities told Patch he was charged as an adult.

"This is an unbearable thing that we have to now live with," Tripp's aunt told WJZ. "You destroyed our family. This is a pain that we've never had to bear, and it's at the hands of someone else."
