On the afternoon of August 18, 2022, 20-year-old Darrion Herring was shot during a verbal dispute inside the food court at the Mall at Prince George’s in Hyattsville, Maryland. Officers who responded at about 4 p.m. found Herring with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said they did not believe the shooting was random.

Investigators identified 33-year-old Stephon Edward Jones of Washington, D.C., as the primary suspect, saying the fatal encounter grew out of an argument between Jones and Herring. Authorities released images of the suspect and offered a reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment. The U.S. Marshals Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force later took Jones into custody in Washington, D.C., and he was charged with first- and second-degree murder and related offenses in early October 2022. He was held awaiting extradition to Prince George’s County.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation in the mall that afternoon or has information that wasn’t reported to police, please share what is known.
