Family is still looking for answers after Baltimore man was murdered on Mother's Day 2016

Baltimore – Anita Buckson liked to remember Antonio, the youngest of her four brothers.

“Oh God, he was funny,” Anita replied. “He loved the family. When he came over, he would always make you laugh.”

“When he was here,” she recalled, “we came together, thanks to our family. And we took a lot of pictures. And we only talk about when we were small when we grew up. Always talked to him about the good old days.”

The 38 -year -old Buckson was a truck driver who lived all his life in Baltimore, said Anita in an interview in March 2025. Her brother, said Anita, was fun to be nearby, and was very sociable.

“When he was here,” she recalled, “we came together, thanks to our family. And we took a lot of pictures. And we only talk about when we were small when we grew up. Always talked to him about the good old days.”

“He was a loving person, a bone person. He was the sweetest person. He was a really nice guy,” added Buckson.

His pictures are well played in the Buckson Family House. The family's little brother was loved.

“He said, 'I love you', I said 'I love you' and that was our last conversation. And that was on May 7th during the day,” said Anita.

May 7, 2016 was a Saturday. Mother's Day was this Sunday. Antonio was traveling in East Baltimore overnight, said Anita.

“He celebrated because he was at home at the weekend. He liked to do that, “said Anita to Wmar.

In the early morning hours of Mother's Day, someone murdered Buckson in the Decker Avenue about a month before his 39th birthday.

“It was like someone torn out my heart,” said Anita. “It was terrible. I cried every day. I cried and still cry every day. It seemed as if it just happened and it is difficult. That was my baby.”

Buckson's family turned to WMMMAR-2 messages to highlight his case and hoped that answers will occur when murdering her youngest brother.

Antonio Buckson was one of the more than 300 murder victims in the city this year, and his case still has to be solved.

The Baltimore police did not offer an interview in front of the camera for Buckson's case.

A spokesman said that detective is not “cold”. Murder detectives usually manage their cases for the period of their time in unity, the spokesman told WMOR. Cases usually go to at least unsolved ten Years or if the primary or secondary detectives are no longer in the murder unit.

It has been almost nine years without closure for the Bucksons, and the murder of her brother has never left Anitas.

“I don't want this to happen to the son, brother or uncle of another. Just make yourself forward if you know something from Mother's Day 2016,” said Anita.

Over the years, the Bucksons have learned little about what happened.
