On the night of December 19, 2022, 54-year-old Lee Alexander Thomas of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, was shot during an attempted carjacking at a Largo gas station in the 10000 block of Campus Way South. Officers found Thomas with multiple gunshot wounds at about 11:00 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital and died a few hours later.

Prosecutors say two teenagers waited at the station for a vehicle to steal. When Thomas arrived to pump gas into his recently purchased white BMW, the older teen approached and shot him in the face; both suspects then fled in the stolen car, which was recovered abandoned days later in District Heights. Authorities later charged a 17-year-old, Diego Alexander Rivas, and a 15-year-old as adults with first-degree murder, armed carjacking and related offenses.

What details about that night or the suspects’ movements might help explain how two teenagers targeted that specific location?
