On the early morning of August 1, 2019, 38-year-old Dante Campbell was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds outside a home on the 4600 block of Burlington Road in Hyattsville, Maryland. First responders arrived about 3:40 a.m. and transported him to a local hospital, where he died a short time later.

Prince George’s County investigators determined the shooting was not random and tied the fatal encounter to a dispute between Campbell and an acquaintance. Authorities identified 38-year-old Dereck Vaughn Clark (also reported as Dereck Vaughn-Clark) of Southeast D.C. and arrested him in connection with the killing. He was charged with first-degree murder.
