John Paul Cruz, 32, of Bryans Road, Maryland, was found fatally shot in the driver’s seat of his vehicle on December 23, 2021, in the 5500 block of Livingston Road in Oxon Hill. Investigators say he had been lured to that location with an invitation to a social gathering to smoke marijuana that was actually a setup intended to rob him.

Upon arrival, Cruz was ordered out of his car, shot, and his phone was taken. Police identified four people in connection with the killing: 24-year-old Josue Cristobal Torres, 21-year-old Angel Amaya, and two juveniles whose names were not released. Arrests were made in the case.

What information might still help clarify the events leading up to that December night or the identities of others who were present?
