On the morning of January 8, 2014, Prince George’s County police responded to a welfare check in the 2500 block of 50th Avenue in Hyattsville and found Isaiah Williams, a 59-year-old African-American man, dead inside a camping trailer. He was discovered with significant trauma to his upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene. Williams had been staying in the trailer recently and had no fixed address.

Detectives opened a homicide investigation, but the case grew cold as investigators were unable to identify suspects or establish a clear motive. The absence of witnesses and limited evidence have hindered progress. Prince George’s County Crime Solvers issued a public plea with a cash reward for information.

Anyone with information about Isaiah Williams, his movements in early January 2014, or the circumstances around the trailer is asked to contact investigators.
