On the evening of May 1, 2018, 20-year-old Antonio Lamount Harper Jr. was fatally shot in Waldorf, Maryland. The shooting happened at about 10 p.m. in the 2200 block of Stream Vista Place as Harper was walking toward an apartment. An unknown person approached and fired multiple gunshots, then fled. Deputies from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office found Harper with several gunshot wounds; emergency medical services pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting was not a random act. Harper, a Waldorf resident, performed locally as A1 Lil Tony and Plug Son; his family remembered his infectious smile and personality. As of early 2024 the homicide remains unsolved, no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and a reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and indictment. Anyone with information is asked to contact authorities or Charles County Crime Solvers.
