On June 1, 2016, 20-year-old Conrad Cole was walking with two caregivers from the group home where he lived, headed toward a nearby basketball court in Hyattsville, Maryland. At the intersection of 69th Place and Greenvale Parkway a car pulled up beside them and a brief confrontation between Cole and the vehicle’s occupants escalated. A man in the car, identified as 28-year-old Roderick Town, shot Cole. Cole was taken to a nearby hospital and died a short time later.

Investigators from the Prince George’s County Police Department Homicide Unit say Town and Cole did not know each other before the encounter. A second occupant of the car reportedly tried to render aid to Cole, then fled as police arrived; that person’s cooperation was sought during the investigation.

A jury later convicted Roderick Town of second-degree murder, unlawful possession of a regulated firearm, and use of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence. Does anyone have information about Cole’s last afternoon or the people who were with him that day?
