On a late summer afternoon in Suitland, Maryland, 22-year-old Reed Franklin Jr of Temple Hills was fatally shot in the parking lot of the Bradbury Recreation Center on Ewing Avenue. The shooting occurred about 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 16, 2015, while the park was crowded with adults and children. Police say Franklin became involved in an argument with a group in the parking lot; one person in that group opened fire, witnesses reported rapid, continuous bursts of gunfire, and Franklin was found with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital and died shortly after arrival.

Investigators say the attack did not appear random; the group fled the scene and several people of interest were questioned. A reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests were announced. Does anyone who was at the recreation center that afternoon or who knew Reed have information that could help bring answers?
