Sixteen-year-old George Waymer Jr., known to family as Lil George, was fatally shot while playing basketball with friends on the evening of July 8, 2012, in the 5700 block of Aspen Street in Fairmont-Heights, Maryland. His father heard gunfire and was told the news by one of his son’s friends; he found George unresponsive in the street.

Waymer was born in Washington D.C., attended schools in the District and Prince George’s County, worked at a barbershop from about age 10 and learned to cut hair, and had attended the Virginia National Guard Commonwealth Challenge Youth Academy. He dreamed of playing college football at the University of Miami and hoped to reach the NFL.

Investigators treated robbery as the likely motive. Witnesses reported a green Ford Crown Victoria near the scene and another witness said the shooter was in a light-blue car and that someone exited and began firing. Despite public pleas from his mother, Laquette Dunn, and detectives, no arrests have been made and the case has grown cold.

Does anyone have information about the July 8, 2012 shooting or recall seeing those vehicles in the Aspen Street area that night?
