Markelle Morrow was 24 when he was fatally shot in a parking lot on Walters Lane in District Heights, Maryland, on the evening of Friday, March 18, 2022. Emergency crews arrived about 5:40 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. His family says he was headed to give his sister a birthday gift and that a chain and watch were taken, with his mother asserting he was shot in the back after surrendering his possessions.

The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating and has posted a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment. No arrests have been publicly announced and the case remains unsolved. The family’s memorial, called The Final Show, drew media attention when Morrow’s embalmed body was displayed on stage at a Washington D.C. nightclub; the club later apologized and his mother defended the choice as a celebration of his life.

If anyone knew Markelle, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
