Deshanda Ragland was 40 when she was found dead in her College Park apartment at Alexandria Landing Apartments on Godby Road. Her brother discovered her on Sunday, November 2, 2014; she was reportedly last seen alive on the morning of Saturday, November 1. Police described the scene as violent: Ragland was found between her bed and a nightstand with a dog leash tied around her neck, the apartment was in disarray, and there was blood on a phone, suggesting she may have tried to call for help. The apartment door had been barricaded from the inside.

College Park police treated the death as a homicide and questioned Ragland’s brother and another man, saying those interviews produced several leads. After the initial investigation, there have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects, and the case appears to have gone cold. Does anyone have information about Deshanda Ragland’s last day or the people who knew her that could help bring answers to her family?
