Family demanding justice for 18-year-old killed by Baltimore Police

It’s been less than two months since 18-year-old Donnell Rochester was killed by Baltimore City Police. It happened in Northwest Baltimore on February 19th near Hillen Road and Chilton Street.

Rochester was a senior in high school and would’ve graduated in June 2022. Now his loved ones like Pastor Rodney Hudson say they are left fighting for justice for his killers to be held accountable.

“He should be here today preparing for his graduation, he should be here today dancing with his mother,” Hudson said. Instead of preparing for a graduation, Rochester’s loved ones said they’re now left with the memories they once shared with him.

“This is a young man that I baptized and then had to do his eulogy, so this is very deeply personal for me,” Hudson said.

Pastor Hudson said he’s known Donnell and his family for most of his life. Donnell was part of the LGBTQ community with a passion for entertainment. “He was a practical joker always laughing always having fun. Donnell used to sing in the children’s choir,” Hudson said.
