Harvey D. Jones Jr., a 29-year-old Black man from Temple Hills, was shot in the early morning hours of December 27, 2024. Prince George’s County officers responded about 12:30 a.m. to a report of a shooting in the 6100 block of Oxon Hill Road and found Jones outside with gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

Detectives opened a homicide investigation immediately and announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment. Investigators said they were working to determine a motive and potential suspects and later stated they believed the shooting resulted from a dispute; they also said there was no evidence the suspect and Jones knew each other beforehand.

On January 29, 2025, police arrested a 17-year-old male from Temple Hills and charged him as an adult with first- and second-degree murder and related counts; the juvenile’s name was not released. The investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone has information about Jones, the events on Oxon Hill Road that night, or the alleged dispute, please come forward.
