On March 18, 2021, Dorian Hurd, a 20-year-old student at the University of the District of Columbia and a Blake High School graduate, was fatally shot outside a tattoo shop in the 4300 block of St. Barnabas Road in Temple Hills, Prince George’s County. Surveillance video showed a man walk past Hurd, then turn and open fire; Hurd was struck multiple times and died at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head.

Police say the shooter fled across the street and tried to hide a handgun inside a nearby dry-cleaning business but was taken into custody as he exited the store. The assailant was identified as Tevin Ream. Prosecutors argued the killing was intentional and without an established motive.

A jury convicted Ream in July 2023 of first-degree murder and related handgun charges; he was sentenced in February 2024 to life plus 38 years. Family and friends described Hurd as a sweet, vibrant young man. Does anyone have information about Hurd’s activities that evening or saw something near St. Barnabas Road that could shed more light on what happened?
