Baltimore, Md. (March 19, 2026) – “Today’s sentencing of Defendant Alexis Cancel-Soto to Life, suspending all but 30 years, represents a significant step toward accountability; however, it is not the outcome we sought for Cameran Holt and her loved ones. Our office advocated for a stronger sentence of Life plus 30 years to fully reflect the severity of this loss and the profound impact this crime has had on both the Holt family and our community.

“I commend Assistant State’s Attorney Justin Greer for his tireless work on this case. From the initial investigation through multiple trials, he demonstrated unwavering dedication, professionalism, and compassion in the pursuit of justice for Cameran.

“We remain mindful that no sentence can ever ease the pain of losing a loved one to violence. This family continues to carry that grief daily, and our thoughts remain with them as they navigate this unimaginable loss. We are grateful for their strength and the trust they placed in our office throughout this process. Our commitment to seeking justice on behalf of victims and their families remains steadfast.” – Ivan J. Bates, State’s Attorney
