In the late hours of a Saturday night in May 2007, 32-year-old Jose F. Carcamo was shot to death during a violent struggle inside a car in Hyattsville, Maryland. His body was found shortly after midnight on Sunday, May 6, 2007, near the intersection of Rhode Island and Baltimore avenues; Carcamo had no permanent address. Witnesses and investigators say he had been with members and associates of the 18th Street gang at a Hyattsville residence on the evening of May 5 and later got into a vehicle with Mario Molina-Valladares, known as Tiger, and Omar Rafael Villegas-Martinez, known as Lunar, among others.

Inside the car a fight broke out; Carcamo disabled the vehicle by kicking the gear shifter, but was shot twice in the head and left in the disabled vehicle on a nearby overpass. Those present attempted to mislead police afterward, providing false information to portray the killing as a carjacking. DNA consistent with Molina-Valladares was recovered from fingernail clippings taken during the autopsy. Molina-Valladares and Villegas-Martinez were later named in a superseding racketeering indictment that included the murder of Jose Carcamo.

Did anyone in the Hyattsville area see or hear anything the night of May 5–6 that might shed more light on what happened?
