A late‑afternoon argument in a public space ended in gunfire and death. JR Reid Franklin, 22, of Temple Hills was shot in the parking lot of the Bradbury Recreation Center on Ewing Avenue in Suitland on August 16, 2015. Emergency responders found him around 5:30 p.m.; he was taken to a hospital and later died of his wounds.

Witnesses reported adults and children in the area when the suspects fled the scene. Prince George’s County police opened a homicide investigation, interviewed several people of significant interest and detained some individuals for questioning. Authorities announced a reward of up to $25,000 for tips leading to an arrest and indictment, but no public announcement of arrests or named suspects has followed.

Anyone who knew JR Reid Franklin or has information about the August 16, 2015 shooting is asked to come forward.
