Antoine Lavale Parker, 37, was found inside his apartment in the 18500 block of Boysenberry Drive in Montgomery Village, Maryland, after police responded to a shooting call on the morning of Sunday, September 22, 2024. Officers from the 6th District discovered Parker with gunshot wounds; the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner performed an autopsy the next day and ruled his death a homicide by gunshot wounds. Earlier that same morning, around 5 a.m., police had been called to the same apartment complex for reports of gunfire but did not locate evidence of a crime at that time.

Detectives from the Montgomery County Department of Police Major Crimes Division led the investigation and publicly appealed for tips, offering a reward. Months into the inquiry, two Gaithersburg men were identified as primary suspects: Erick Darryl West, 65, and Daryl James Howard, 45. An arrest warrant charging West with first-degree murder was obtained on February 24, 2025, and he was taken into custody two days later; an arrest warrant for Howard, also for first-degree murder, was obtained on February 26, 2025, while he was already held on unrelated charges.

If anyone knew Antoine, his movements that morning, or has information about the people or activity around Boysenberry Drive on September 22, 2024, please come forward.
