A late-evening shooting in a New Carrollton apartment complex left 24-year-old Desmond Burns dead. The shooting happened on Monday, November 13, 2017, in the 5300 block of 85th Avenue. Officers found Burns with a gunshot wound to his upper body; he was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

Detectives from the Prince George’s County Police Department canvassed the neighborhood and sought witnesses while urging the public to come forward. A reward was offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment, but the case remains unsolved with no public announcement of arrest or identified suspects.

Anyone who knew Desmond, saw activity in that area the night of November 13, 2017, or has information that could help investigators is urged to come forward.
