On the evening of July 25, 2025, 33-year-old William Denard Askew, known to family as Little, was found in the roadway on the 13200 block of Laurel Bowie Road in unincorporated Laurel with multiple gunshot wounds. First responders pronounced Askew dead at the scene; he was a Greenbelt resident reportedly heading home from work at the time. The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit opened an investigation.

Family members described Askew as a beloved son, brother and uncle who loved spending time with his three nephews and had an infectious smile. Investigators released surveillance footage showing a man on a bicycle at a nearby gas station identified as a person of interest, and a reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment.

Who in the Laurel or Greenbelt area remembers anything unusual on the night of July 25 that could help the investigation?
