A Quiet Night Shattered: The Death of Gregory Wells
They found him down—Gregory Wells—crumpled on the sidewalk, wounded by bullets in the quiet of night. It was just after 11:00 p.m. when the calm was pierced by the unmistakable sound of gunfire. In a city all too familiar with late-night violence, these particular shots rang out with chilling clarity. Nearby officers, already on patrol, heard them echo through the streets and moved swiftly, following the sound to Tyler Avenue.
There, in the 1300 block, they found him—Gregory Wells, bleeding badly. The streetlights cast a dim yellow glow over the scene, and for a moment, time seemed to hold its breath. Officers rushed to his side, calling for medics as they tried to assess the damage. A small crowd began to gather, their hushed voices mixing with the whir of the approaching ambulance.
Help came quickly. EMTs worked with practiced urgency, trying to stabilize Gregory as they loaded him into the ambulance and raced toward Anne Arundel Medical Center. But time was not on their side. Despite their efforts—despite the sirens and flashing lights and every desperate attempt to keep him alive—Gregory Wells was pronounced dead at the hospital.
He was gone.
The loss struck deep for those who knew him. Friends remembered him as warm, grounded, and quietly generous. He wasn’t perfect—who is?—but he cared deeply for his family and community. His death left a silence behind, the kind that creeps into homes and lingers, the kind that can’t be explained away.
The investigation moved fast. Within hours, police identified a suspect. William Hairston was named as wanted in connection with the shooting. His face, now circulating in public bulletins and local broadcasts, became a symbol of unanswered questions. Why Gregory? Why that night? What led to those fatal moments on Tyler Avenue?
As the search for Hairston continues, Gregory’s loved ones are left to pick up the pieces. Their pain is raw, fresh, and indescribable. There’s grief, yes—but also anger. A yearning for justice. A wish that things could be undone, that time might rewind just a few short hours.
We send strength to his family and friends, holding space for their sorrow. Gregory Wells’s life mattered. He should be here.
And until there are answers, the city will remember. Not just the sound of the gunfire, but the man who fell in its wake.
