On the evening of March 25, 2022, shoppers at the Mall at Prince George’s in Hyattsville, Maryland, were terrorized when a dispute inside a clothing store turned deadly. Around 6:30 p.m., 22-year-old Daquan Dockery of Washington D.C. was shot and pronounced dead at the scene after what investigators say was an argument between two groups of four people. Police recovered evidence that Dockery fired a gun as well before collapsing.

Dockery, a Woodson High School graduate who worked at a Sweetgreen and had started his own clothing line of sweatshirts and caps, was remembered by his mother, Elizabeth Dockery, as a hard working young man who checked on her and helped with bills. Two 16-year-old twin brothers from Northeast D.C., Jabree and Jamel Hawkins, were arrested and charged as adults with murder; investigators say Jabree Hawkins allegedly fired the fatal shots. Surveillance video and officer recognition of the suspects helped lead to the arrests. The motive and the precise relationship between Dockery and the suspects remain under investigation.

If anyone who knew Daquan or who was at the mall that night has information, please come forward.
