Morris Haskins Jr., 43, was fatally shot on the evening of November 8, 2024, at Walker Mill Regional Park in Capitol Heights, Maryland, during a candlelight vigil for another homicide victim. The shooting occurred about 5:50 PM while roughly 50 people attended; a dispute at the gathering turned chaotic and more than 20 shots were fired, prompting attendees to flee. Haskins was found at the scene with gunshot wounds and taken to a nearby hospital, where he died on November 9, 2024.

The Prince George’s County Police Department, assisted by the Maryland-National Capital Park Police, opened an investigation but initially reported few leads and no description of suspects or vehicles. A reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment. Anyone who was at the vigil or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
