Terrell Johnson-Smith

Terrell Johnson-Smith was a 32-year-old man whose life was rooted in Baltimore. While public records about his private life are limited, the available accounts place him among the people who moved through Baltimore’s neighborhoods each day—working, connecting with family and friends, and taking part in the rhythms of city life.

On June 2, 2024, Johnson-Smith’s life was taken in an act of violence that was widely reported by local outlets. Reporting about the events confirms his identity, age, and that he was found wounded on the 900 block of Pennsylvania Avenue and later taken to the University of Maryland hospital, where he did not survive. These facts form part of the public record, but they do not capture the fullness of the person who lived before that day.

There is no publicly available, family-published obituary discovered during this research. As such, details that families most often share—personal anecdotes, occupations, education, cherished relationships, and favorite pastimes—are not present in reliable public sources that match his name and death date. That absence does not diminish the reality that Terrell was a person with relationships and a place in his community.

This remembrance acknowledges what is verifiable: Terrell was a 32-year-old Black man from Baltimore whose death on June 2, 2024, was recorded by local authorities and reported by established news outlets. Because no family-authored obituary or funeral notice matching his name and the exact date of death was located, this life story intentionally focuses on dignity, restraint, and respect for privacy. It honors Terrell as more than an event in the news—someone who lived, who mattered to others, and whose loss was felt by people who knew him.

If family members or close friends wish to provide additional memories, stories, or correct or expand these public details, those contributions would allow a fuller, more personal memorial to be created that more truly reflects Terrell’s life, character, and the people who loved him.
