Aaron Christopher Leach, 21, died after being shot at a summer gathering in Mitchellville, Maryland. The party on June 19, 2010, on the 11500 block of Lottsford Terrace included an earlier confrontation in which a man broke a bottle and appeared to intend to use it as a weapon; Leach tried to de-escalate and briefly succeeded. Shortly after 11 p.m. that evening the same individual returned and opened fire. Leach and two other men were struck; the other two, aged 21 and 23, sustained non-life-threatening wounds and were released from hospital. Aaron Leach was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Prince George’s County Police identified and arrested a suspect in the case. Thomas Tyler of Temple Hills was charged with Leach’s murder; a jury later found Tyler guilty in December 2011. The shooting left Leach’s family and the community mourning. If anyone knew Aaron or was at the gathering that night, information could help clarify what happened.
