    Keona Schannel Holley, also known as "KeKe" and the "Mom from the West Side", was born in 1981 or 1982. She graduated from Edmondson-Westside High School in southwestern Baltimore and received a certification as a nursing assistant from the Community College of Baltimore County, according to her family. Her first job, at the age of 16, was at a McDonald's in Baltimore County. She later became employed at the Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center, a psychiatric hospital in Jessup, Maryland, before leaving in 2019 and joining the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) academy. She claimed her motive for joining was bringing change to an embattled department; she was serving her second year as an officer at the time of the shooting. She had four children and one grandchild.

    I didn’t want to be a Baltimore police officer before. I feel like Baltimore city police officers have a bad name about themselves. We have to change that, and change it together. The community needs Baltimore city police officers that’s [sic] not just here for a paycheck. They’re here because they care.— Holley, 2020

    Justin Johnson was born in 1993 or 1994, the fourth of seven children. Johnson had five children, who were aged one to 18, at the time of his death. Johnson's mother, Justina Lawrence, described him as "just a young man trying to make it in this wicked, wicked world".

    Elliot M. Knox and Travon Shaw, the two perpetrators, were born in 1989 or 1990 and 1988 or 1989, respectively. At the time of the murder, Shaw was set to go on trial, in March 2022, on a March 2020 firearms charge in Baltimore County, being convicted of assault and armed robbery in 2006. In the same year, Knox, who was then 16 years old, was convicted of three armed robberies and sentenced to 15 years in prison.

    Following Holley's shooting, a bounty of up to US$59,000 was offered to people who gave tips that led to a conviction. This bounty was matched by the state of Maryland, making the combined award $118,000. Detectives found that a nearby license plate reader had detected the plate of a silver 2012 Hyundai which was registered to Knox. Nearby security cameras showed Knox's car park near Holley's patrol car. Two men walked out of the car towards Holley's car before running back to Knox's car.

    In a Baltimore Police Department interview room, Knox gave up his Miranda rights and initially maintained that his car was stolen and that he was not involved in either of the murders. After two hours, he walked back these claims, admitting that he was at the scene of the shootings, but continuing that Shaw shot Holley and Johnson. He said that Shaw killed Johnson because he owed him US$100 and that Shaw said he was going to "holler" at Johnson, however, he had no idea why Shaw killed Holley, bursting into tears in the interview room. Justina Lawrence, Johnson's mother, claimed that the $100 debt was for a car.

    Knox led investigators to a house in the Windsor Hills community, where a Glock 22 and an Armalite rifle-style pistol, the guns used in the shooting, were stored in two backpacks in a bedroom closet, alongside gloves, masks, magazines, boxes of bullets, and a gun cleaning kit. The .40 caliber casings at both scenes and a .223 caliber casing at the scene of Johnson's shooting matched up with the Glock 22 and AR-style pistol, respectively. DNA evidence on the pistol also matched to Knox and Shaw.

    Johnson's funeral was held at March's Funeral Home on December 22. The same day, a vigil for Holley, who was at the time on life support, was held by community members, where they prayed that Holley would recover from her injuries. According to a BPD press release, Holley was removed from life support the next day, a week after being shot, and pronounced dead soon after.

    Several city and state officials, including then-commissioner of the Baltimore Police Department Michael S. Harrison, Governor of Maryland Larry Hogan, then-state's attorney of Baltimore Marilyn Mosby, and Mayor of Baltimore Brandon Scott, offered their condolences after Holley's death. Hogan said that "our hearts are broken" over the loss of Holley, while Scott said that "Baltimore will never forget Officer Holley’s sacrifice and commitment to making a difference in her beloved city". She was the first BPD officer to be killed in the line of duty since Sean Suiter, a detective implicated in the Gun Trace Task Force scandal, …
