On the morning of New Year’s Day 2023, officers responded to a call at a home on Lazy Acres Road in Clinton, Maryland, and found two people dead and two others injured. The victims pronounced at the scene were 42-year-old Monique Duncan and 42-year-old Maurice Moore, who were in a relationship and lived in the house. An autopsy determined Duncan died of gunshot wounds; Moore’s death was attributed to a stab wound.

Two other residents — one juvenile and one adult — suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and were taken to a hospital in stable condition. Investigators say the incident was domestic and that everyone involved was known to one another. The Prince George’s County Homicide Unit is investigating and has stated it is not actively searching for suspects while detectives examine whether the deaths occurred in self-defense or defense of others and consult with the State’s Attorney’s Office on possible charges.

If anyone has information about who was in the home that morning or witnessed activity on Lazy Acres Road around 6:00 a.m., please come forward.
