Khairi Sayles, 29 and a Washington D.C. resident, died in the early hours of January 3, 2021, after a single-vehicle crash at Saint Barnabas Road and 28th Avenue in Temple Hills, Maryland. Responding officers found his car had left the roadway, struck a pole and overturned; Sayles was partially ejected and pronounced dead at the scene.

A subsequent investigation by the Prince George’s County Police Department revealed that Sayles had sustained a gunshot wound, shifting the inquiry from a traffic fatality to a homicide. An autopsy was ordered to determine the official cause of death and investigators sought to establish when and where the shooting occurred.

Authorities later offered a reward and the case was listed among the county’s unsolved homicides of 2021. No arrests or suspect identifications have been announced, and the investigation remains active. If anyone has information about Khairi Sayles or the January 3 incident, please share what is known with investigators.
