In the early morning hours of October 24, 2024, a citizen flagged down officers near Veterans Parkway and Riverdale Road in Riverdale, Maryland about an unresponsive man on the roadside. Officers found 38-year-old Jeiver Pozuelos Cervantes of Hyattsville with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives from the Prince George’s County Police Department Homicide Unit opened an investigation and said the preliminary probe suggested the shooting was not random, though details about what led to the killing were not immediately available.

The victim’s family described Cervantes as a devoted father, son, and brother and organized a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses and repatriation to Guatemala. A reward of up to $25,000 was offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment. Does anyone who knew Jeiver or was in the Riverdale area that morning have information that could help the investigation?
