On May 31, 2011, 23-year-old Alusine Kargbo was shot while on the basketball courts at Carrollton Elementary School in New Carrollton, Maryland. The shooting began when an individual approached the group and opened fire into the crowd; Kargbo was the only person struck. He was taken in a private vehicle to a local hospital before police arrived at the scene around 8:50 p.m., but he later died of his injuries.

Investigators were at first uncertain whether Kargbo had been the intended target. Police identified 17-year-old Savon Lee Blanchard of Landover as a suspect, and a warrant was issued for his arrest on June 3, 2011. Blanchard turned himself in on June 9 and was charged with second-degree murder and held without bond.

If anyone was at the Carrollton Elementary courts that evening or has information about what led to the shooting, please share what is known.
