Kevin Ruiz Campos, a 16-year-old tenth grader at Montgomery Blair High School, was shot and killed in the early evening of June 14, 2023. The shooting happened around 5:30 p.m. in the parking lot of an apartment building in the 7900 block of Riggs Road in the Langley Park area of Hyattsville, Maryland. Police found Kevin with gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene. An adult male was also wounded and taken to a local hospital.

Investigators do not believe the shooting was random. The school community was offered counseling after the principal described the loss as profoundly sad. Kevin’s family set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral and memorial costs. As of early July 2023 the case remained unsolved and no arrests or suspects had been publicly announced. If anyone has information about what happened that evening, contact detectives.
