Bowie Man Shot to Death; Reward Offered for Suspect

A Bowie man was shot and killed early Saturday, marking the city’s second shooting this month.

Terrence Demond Zackery, 31, of Patriot Lane in Bowie was shot and killed about 4:25 a.m. Saturday.

The Prince George’s County Police Department says a reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and indictment in Zackery’s death.

In the earlier case, Christopher King Jr., 22 was arrested on June 20 and charged in the June 16 shooting of Melvin Thomas Jr., 23, following an altercation near the Huntington Community Center. Thomas was still in the hospital last week.
