Martin Jonathan Spicer Sutton, 40, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene on the 2100 block of Brooks Drive in District Heights, Maryland, on the evening of November 13, 2020. Prince George’s County officers had responded to a shooting call shortly before 10 p.m.

Homicide detectives concluded the shooting did not appear random and worked to identify a suspect and motive. In early January 2021 investigators arrested 54-year-old Troy Hemphill of Landover and charged him with first- and second-degree murder and other related counts; police said Hemphill confessed and that the two men shared mutual acquaintances though they were not directly acquainted. Hemphill was ordered held without bond at the Department of Corrections.

If anyone who knew Martin or who was in the District Heights area that night has information, please share what you know with investigators.
