On the evening of October 6, 2023, Kenyon Valentine, an 18-year-old male from Alexandria, Virginia, was found in a vehicle in the 6800 block of Haven Avenue in Oxon Hill, Maryland, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Officers arrived around 5:45 PM and attempted aid, but Valentine’s injuries were fatal and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooting took place near Oxon Hill High School, triggering a temporary lockdown and the postponement of that night’s scheduled football game. Authorities have offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment.

Anyone who was in the area that evening or who has information that could help investigators is asked to come forward.
