Kevin Eugene Wright Jr. was 27 when he was killed in the early morning hours of April 28, 2010, in Hillcrest Heights, Maryland. Police responded to reports of gunfire around 3 a.m. in the 3900 block of 23rd Parkway and found Wright suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; his death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators concluded Wright was intentionally targeted rather than the victim of random violence. Officers observed several people fleeing the scene and later recovered firearms, including ghost guns. Nineteen-year-old Andres Rodriguez-Corona and 22-year-old Carl Sanders were arrested; Rodriguez-Corona was charged with first- and second-degree murder while Sanders faced multiple firearms offenses. The motive for the attack remained a focus of the ongoing investigation.

Wright’s family remembered him as a devoted husband to Brandi Jackson-Wright and a father to Maliq Hanif and Amira Lailah Wright. If anyone has information about that April 2010 shooting or knew Kevin, please come forward.
