On August 1, 2018, inside a liquor store on Livingston Road in Oxon Hill, Maryland, 25-year-old Ralland Whitfield of Lothian was shot multiple times after making a purchase. Police say the shooter was 27-year-old David Edward Hall of Temple Hills; investigators believe the two men were acquainted and the motive was under investigation.

A Prince George’s County Police officer on the robbery suppression team, Corporal Andrew McKenney, was nearby at a stoplight when he heard the gunfire. He ran to investigate and saw Hall running from the store while still armed. When Hall did not stop and advanced toward the officer, McKenney fired, fatally wounding Hall. A handgun was found next to Hall’s body, and Whitfield was later found inside the store and pronounced dead.

The officer was placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. What do readers who were in the area that afternoon or who knew Whitfield or Hall remember about that day or about either man?
