Updated September 18, 2018: The involved officer is identified as Corporal Joseph Keifline. He is a 10-year veteran of the department and is assigned to the Bureau of Patrol.
The
Prince George’s County Police Department’s Internal Affairs Division is
investigating a fatal officer-involved shooting that occurred in Temple
Hills on Monday morning. The deceased suspect is 23 year old Jose
Alvarez of the 3700 block of Del Mar Drive in Woodbridge, Virginia.
Jose Alvarez
The preliminary investigation reveals that on
September 17th, at 7:21
am, a citizen called 911 asking for officers to be
dispatched to the 3300 block of Huntley Square Drive after seeing a suspect
stealing items from his car. As requested, officers responded and saw a man
matching the description given by the caller. As one patrol officer attempted
to speak to the suspect, the suspect ran across the street to Brinkley Road and
was seen entering an apartment building. While he was running, the suspect
tossed two license plates he had stolen earlier. Officers found the
suspect hiding in a laundry room and gave him repeated verbal commands to
surrender but he did not comply. The officers and the suspect then began to
struggle. One officer attempted to use a taser on the suspect, but it did not
take effect. The suspect then produced a handgun from his waistband. One of the
officers managed to get his hand on the suspect’s gun in an attempt to prevent
him from pointing it at any of the officers. The suspect fired his gun.
Based on initial forensic analysis of the suspect’s gun, the involved
officers’ guns, and additional video evidence, we have now
learned that the suspect fired his weapon twice. One of the
officers returned fire one time, striking the suspect. Jose Alvarez was
pronounced dead at the scene. The officer who grabbed the gun did suffer an
injury to his hand when the suspect discharged his weapon. The suspect’s gun
was recovered in the laundry room. It is pictured below.
A resident in the apartment complex recorded the
police presence outside of her building moments before the shooting took place.
The resident’s cell phone recording captures the sounds of the three gunshots.
Regarding the two prior
shootings to which she refers in the video, one allegedly occurred two weeks
ago when a witness says a male fired a gun towards a female. That was not
reported to police until today. Detectives are working to verify the
incident. The second case happened yesterday and involved a group of
males in a car shooting another car. No one was injured. Our
officers were called, responded to the area, and recovered a shell casing at
the scene. The earlier reported non-contact shooting and the vandalism by
gunfire cases are being handled by our Regional Investigation Detectives.
The involved officer in this morning’s incident is now on administrative leave
pending the outcome of the investigation which is standard procedure.
The Prince
George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office reviews all officer-involved
shootings.
If anyone has information in this investigation, they are asked to please call
detectives at 301-856-2660. Callers
