Police posted a video on social media Friday morning showing two women who are believed to have been involved with the crime. They are requesting the public's help in locating the pair.

On April 5, 40-year-old Brandon Long Sr. was shot following a dispute that took place overnight in Baltimore's Federal Hill neighborhood.

Travon Lemon, a 27-year-old resident of Maryland, was charged in connection with the fatal shooting on April 15. Lemon has been charged with first-degree murder, assault, and handgun violations, according to police.
