On the evening of September 4, 2020, officers responded to a report of a shooting on the 600 block of Audrey Lane in Oxon Hill, Maryland. They found 26-year-old Justin Easter outside, unresponsive and suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

The Prince George’s County Police Homicide Unit identified 28-year-old Donnell Alphonzo Brown, an acquaintance of the victim, as the person responsible. Investigators say the encounter arose from a dispute between the two men. Brown, who had no fixed address, was arrested within days and charged with first- and second-degree murder and additional offenses. A court commissioner ordered he be held at the Department of Corrections without bond pending further proceedings.

If anyone has information about Justin Easter, his movements that night, or the dispute that preceded the shooting, please come forward.
