In the early hours of a Tuesday in May 2011, two young men were fatally shot on the 600 block of Modoc Lane in Forest Heights, Maryland. Police arrived about 1:50 a.m. and found one victim in the street and the other in a nearby yard. One of the victims was 23-year-old Joshua Jamar Carroll of Southeast Washington; the other was 22-year-old Okasha M. Hawkins, who lived on the street where the shooting occurred.

Neighbors reported hearing a few gunshots, a pause, and then another volley that ended both men’s lives. The motive remained unclear in the immediate aftermath, and investigators had not announced any arrests or identified suspects. The double homicide left a normally quiet neighborhood shaken.

If anyone witnessed that night or has information about Joshua Carroll or Okasha Hawkins, please share what is known with the Prince George’s County Police Department.
