A late-night dispute at a McDonald’s parking lot in Jessup, Maryland, ended in the death of 25-year-old Tysean Berry. The shooting happened about 3:30 a.m. on Friday, December 19, 2025, in the 8700 block of Washington Boulevard. Officers found Berry with gunshot wounds and he was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where he was pronounced dead later that afternoon.

Police say Berry had been involved in a physical altercation with a group of people near the drive-thru lane when one person allegedly fired the fatal shots. No other injuries were reported. Those who knew Berry recalled him as a charismatic, resilient former standout football player at Hammond High School who left a positive impact on teammates and the community.

A 22-year-old, identified as Christian Kinuthia of Windsor Mill, was arrested at the scene and charged with second-degree murder and first-degree assault; he is being held at the Howard County Detention Center on no bond as the investigation continues. Can anyone who was in the area that night or who knew Tysean share information that might help the investigation?
