In the early morning of January 17, 2025, 26-year-old Marcell Jordan Hebron of Rockville, Maryland, was found shot to death in a white BMW stopped in the roadway at Shady Grove Road and Research Boulevard. A Montgomery County officer on routine patrol discovered Hebron inside the vehicle around 3:16 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Hebron performed as the rapper Lil Xelly in the local music community.

A few hours later, about 7:40 a.m., Rockville officers found 27-year-old Leilani Marroquin shot to death in a parking lot at 2 Research Court nearby. Investigators linked the two killings to a single suspect identified as 25-year-old Kaloyan Dimov Stoev, who was taken into custody in Rockville before noon that day and was found in possession of two firearms. Court filings state Stoev arranged to buy two ounces of marijuana, got into Hebron’s car armed with a .40-caliber ghost gun, and later shot both victims; he admitted to the killings but claimed self-defense, which detectives rejected. Stoev has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and multiple handgun offenses and is held without bond.

Does anyone have information about Hebron’s movements that night or recalls seeing the BMW near Shady Grove Road and Research Boulevard?
