The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit is actively investigating three homicides reported in the county on Thursday. These incidents do not appear to be related, nor were they random. We do believe these incidents to be isolated. The first homicide occurred at a private residence, the second victim was located in a roadway, and the third was in a wooded area of a local park. The victims are all adult males.
Prior to today, murders were down 33% when compared to this time last year and down 55% when compared to this time in 2024.
“While the reductions in murders reflect meaningful progress and demonstrate that our efforts and strategies are making a difference, we will never lose sight of the human cost of violence. Behind every homicide is a life lost, a family grieving, and a community forever changed. Even one murder is one too many.”
Chief George Nader, Prince George’s County Police Department
We will continue to hold those who commit violent acts accountable while working alongside our community partners and residents to prevent violence, before it occurs. Prior to today, we have closed approximately 79% of murders that occurred this year, and we remain dedicated to keeping our community safe.
If anyone has information related to these cases, we are asking them to please contact the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit at 301-516-2512.
