In the early morning of February 3, 2023, 21-year-old Neeko Dukes was shot and killed inside a home on Balboa Avenue in Capitol Heights. Police were called at about 2:15 a.m.; officers found Dukes inside the residence with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced him dead at the scene. A second man was wounded and taken to a hospital with injuries described as serious but not life-threatening.

A surviving victim told investigators the group had been in the living room when a man identified as Kareem Roshe Boyd reached for a handgun, shot Dukes as he sat in a chair, then fired at the other individual and fled. Police announced an arrest on March 9, 2023: 21-year-old Kareem Roshe Boyd of Washington, D.C., was taken into custody in the District and charged with first-degree murder and related offenses; he was being held in D.C. awaiting extradition to Prince George’s County.

The motive remains under investigation. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please share it with the Prince George’s County Police Department.
