Detectives Release Composite Sketch of Suspect in the Fatal Shooting of Allyssa Banks


Homicide Unit detectives today released a composite sketch of the suspect wanted in connection with the October homicide of 18-year-old Allyssa Banks. Detectives are asking for the community’s help in identifying this suspect so we can provide answers to her loved ones. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case. Tipsters will never have to give their names.

On October 19th, 2016, at about 1:45 am, officers were called to the 10200 block of Prince Place in Upper Marlboro for a shooting. When they arrived, they found Banks suffering from gunshot wounds. She died at the hospital. A second victim was also shot. He survived his injuries.

The suspect is described as an African American male in his early 20s, with a light complexion, a slim build, brown eyes and was wearing a black-hooded jacket the night of the murder.

Preliminarily, our detectives believe the suspect attempted to rob the victims prior to the shootings.
