J’Lyn Quinones was an 18-year-old who was fatally shot on April 20, 2021, in Capitol Heights, Maryland. Quinones was pregnant at the time; she died shortly after arriving at the hospital, but her baby was delivered by emergency surgery and was expected to survive. The shooting happened as Quinones and another woman were crossing Quinn Street near Southern Avenue. After being shot, both victims ran across the border into Washington D.C. seeking help.

The investigation identified three suspects from Washington D.C. A 21-year-old Malik Johnson has been described as the alleged shooter. His 22-year-old brother Michael Johnson, who was reportedly in a relationship with Quinones and is believed to be the father of her child, and 23-year-old Bianca McDuffie were arrested on charges of accessory after the fact to first-degree murder, accused of helping Malik Johnson evade arrest. Malik Johnson faces murder and attempted murder charges. The three were taken into custody at McDuffie’s home and were pending extradition to Prince George’s County. The motive for the shooting remained under investigation.

Did anyone in Capitol Heights or surrounding neighborhoods see Quinones that night or have information about what led up to the shooting?
