Leeson Richardo Samuels, 34, was kidnapped in the early morning hours of July 13, 2011, while walking to his 2007 tan Chevrolet Suburban in Silver Spring. His vehicle was taken during the abduction. Later that morning his body was found in a grassy area in the 2300 block of 51st Place in unincorporated Hyattsville; the Prince George’s County Police Department determined he had been shot. The stolen SUV was later recovered in Washington, D.C.

No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified. The Prince George’s County Police Department continues to seek information and has issued periodic appeals for tips to help bring closure to Samuels’ family and friends.

If anyone has information about Samuels’ kidnapping, the theft of his SUV, or movements around Silver Spring and Hyattsville on July 13, 2011, please contact investigators.
