In the early hours of June 7, 2025, a man was found fatally shot in a parking garage in Landover, Maryland. At about 4:40 a.m., officers responded to the 400 block of Warfield Drive and discovered 31-year-old Dequan M. Clinkscale of Capitol Heights; he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Known to friends and family as Mr. Showoff, Clinkscale was born August 15, 1993, in Washington, D.C., grew up in Largo and attended schools in Prince George’s County. He was remembered as a devoted father of three, a generous, outgoing presence who loved storytelling and dancing.
Detectives concluded the killing did not appear to be random. Investigators identified 33-year-old Aaron Zavier Jefferson of Upper Marlboro as a suspect, saying the two were known to each other and the shooting occurred during an argument. Jefferson was arrested and charged with first- and second-degree murder and other counts; he was taken into custody in Fairfax County, Virginia, pending extradition.
If anyone knew Dequan, saw activity in the Warfield Drive parking garage that morning, or has information that could help, please come forward.
