On March 21, 2012, at about 12:50 a.m., patrol officers were called to the 1100 block of Palmer Road in Fort Washington, Maryland, after reports of gunfire. They found a vehicle on fire and discovered 33-year-old Marcellus Jermaine Jackson inside. An officer pulled him from the burning car, but he was pronounced dead at the scene; investigators later confirmed he had been shot three times.

Jackson, a Greenbelt resident and father of three, had a prior history of criminal charges and investigators publicly noted a possible connection to drug distribution based on that history, but they could not definitively link it to his death. Homicide detectives said they were working to identify a suspect or suspects and determine a motive.

Did anyone in the Fort Washington or Greenbelt area have information about Jackson’s activities or who might have been involved that night?
