Malcolm King, 41, of Silver Spring, Maryland, was fatally shot on August 6, 2026, in the 6900 block of Stoddert Lane in Landover. Prince George’s County officers were dispatched about 4:40 p.m.; King was found outside with gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Initial accounts had mentioned Hyattsville, but investigators located the fatal shooting in Landover and identified King as a Silver Spring resident.

Detectives quickly focused on someone King knew and developed information identifying Charles Glenroy Smellie Jr., of Forestville, as the person believed responsible. Investigators said the shooting appeared to stem from an ongoing business-related dispute, though authorities did not provide detailed public descriptions of that dispute or the moments immediately before the shooting.

Homicide detectives obtained a warrant for Smellie and the search widened with the U.S. Marshals Service task force. Smellie was located the next morning in the Baltimore area; a pursuit along I-95 and Maryland Route 152 ended near Aberdeen Proving Ground, where Smellie was found inside a white 2026 sedan with what investigators preliminarily determined was a self-inflicted gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead. No Prince George’s County or Maryland State Police officers fired their weapons.

Does anyone have information about King’s activities in Landover or the business dispute that could help investigators?
