Two young men were found shot to death in a Suitland, Maryland cemetery on November 7, 2008. Kelvin Antonio Franklin, 23, of Upper Marlboro, and Mario Nathaniel Shepard, 26, of Cheltenham, were discovered among the tombstones with fatal gunshot wounds, and their deaths were treated as a double homicide.

Prince George’s County police investigated the scene and, less than two weeks later, arrested 19-year-old Darrell Raynard McCarty of Suitland. He was taken into custody and charged with two counts of murder in connection with the killings.

The community and the victims’ families were left to reckon with the sudden, violent loss of Franklin and Shepard. If anyone knew the men, their routines, or events in Suitland around November 7, 2008, please share what you remember with investigators.
