Jury Convicts Man of Murder, Kidnapping Following Fatal I-83 Crash

A Baltimore City jury found Tyler Liggins, 30, guilty of first-degree murder, kidnapping, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, and first-degree assault on Nov. 4 in connection with the July 19, 2025, death of Travon Booth, 43. The verdict came after several days of testimony before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Jeannie J. Hong, during which prosecutors detailed two violent altercations that allegedly left Booth unconscious before he was placed inside his vehicle and later discovered following a crash on I-83. According to charging documents, the incident began at an apartment building on the 1100 block of West Northern Parkway, where Booth became involved in an argument with Liggins’ foster brother and co-defendant, David Whitfield, 29. Investigators alleged that Liggins and Whitfield repeatedly punched, struck, and stomped Booth during two separate altercations, leaving him unconscious and bleeding from his nose and mouth.
