UPDATE: Video of Triple Homicide Shooting Suspect Released By Police
Five adults were shot in District Heights, 3 victims died. A $25,000 reward is being offered for tips that lead to an indictment.
District Heights, MD — Authorities released video Monday of a suspect in the triple homicide in District Heights reportedly running from the scene, and a surveillance image of the same man at a convenience store.
On the video, the gunman is seen running from the crime scene moments after he shot five people, killing three and critically wounding two others. It’s believed the suspect acted alone, say Prince George's County Police, who do not believe this was a random crime.
Detectives will re-visit the neighborhood starting at 7 p.m. Monday to gather more information in the case. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case.
