From a Prince George's County Police report: The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating a homicide in Capitol Heights, Maryland. The victim is Reginald Bernard Brown III, 18.
On May 12, 2015, at about 11:15 pm, patrol officers were called to the 4700 block of Pard Road in Capitol Heights for the report of a shooting. When they arrived, they found Brown and four other men suffering from gunshot wounds. Brown died of his injuries a short time later at a hospital. The other victims suffered non-life threatening injuries. The preliminary investigation reveals the victims were in front of a home when they were shot.

There are two shrines constructed by friends and family at the site of this sad shooting. I spoke to a neighbor about the situation. I pray for peace and justice for all concerned.

This police crime tape at the site of a double homicide is in a residential neighborhood close to the Washington DC line.

Peace to all concerned.

From a Prince George's Police report: The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating a double homicide in Oxon Hill, Maryland. The victims are Deangelo Green, 24, and Rashard Jackson, 35.  On May 15, 2015, at about 11:55 pm, patrol officers were called to the 700 block of Audrey Lane, Oxon Hill, Maryland, for the report of a shooting. When they arrived, they found Green outside suffering from gunshot wounds. He died at a hospital a short time later. Officers located the second victim, Jackson, behind a nearby apartment building. He had also been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene. Preliminarily, it appears he ran after being shot and collapsed behind the building. The investigation reveals the two victims were standing outside when they were shot. Preliminarily, detectives do not believe this was a random act.
