In the early morning hours of September 20, 2022, a home invasion in Hyattsville, Maryland, left 23-year-old resident Giovanni Hayles dead from a gunshot wound. Police were called to a house in the 5600 block of 30th Avenue shortly after midnight; officers arrived about 12:20 a.m. and found Hayles inside a vehicle on the property with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital and later died.

Officers who entered the residence found a second man deceased from a gunshot wound with a firearm nearby; that man was later identified as 19-year-old Damani Sanders of Alexandria, Virginia and described as the suspected intruder. Investigators from the Prince George’s County Police Department say the house was specifically targeted and that other family members were present and cooperating.

No arrests had been announced in the double fatal shooting in the initial reports. If anyone has information about the events that night or the people involved, please share what is known.
