On the evening of July 26, 2017, 26-year-old Cesar Bazan of Landover Hills was shot during a dispute in the 5500 block of 54th Avenue in Riverdale Park, Maryland. Riverdale Park Police found Bazan outside with a gunshot wound after responding about 8:30 p.m.; he was taken to a nearby hospital and died a short time later. The suspects fled before officers arrived.

The Prince George’s County Homicide Unit led the investigation and identified multiple suspects. Within weeks, three men were arrested and charged with first- and second-degree murder: 19-year-old Marquise Dinkins of Washington, D.C., 30-year-old Charles Howard Davis of Bladensburg, and 21-year-old Stephen Strand of Chillum. Dinkins was held in the District of Columbia pending extradition to Prince George’s County; Davis and Strand were held in the Prince George’s County Department of Corrections on no-bond status. The preliminary investigation indicated the shooting began after the argument between the victim and the suspects.

Does anyone have information about the dispute that led to this shooting or remember seeing activity in the 5500 block of 54th Avenue that night?
