Edward Jerome Scott, 60, was found dead on the morning of May 30, 2011, in the 900 block of Chillum Road in Chillum, Maryland. Investigators determined he had sustained fatal stab wounds.

Scott’s death occurred amid a sharp rise in homicides in Prince George’s County that spring. The Memorial Day weekend of 2011 alone saw four men killed, and by the end of May the county had recorded 46 homicides, a marked increase from the previous year.

No arrests in Scott’s murder have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified; the case remains unsolved. Anyone with information that could help investigators is urged to come forward.
