Neighbors –

Here is an update on the recent homicide in University Park:

• The shooting happened in University Park, on Underwood Street between 40^th and 41^st Avenues. This location is just off Adelphi Road. After being shot, the victim’s auto crashed into a tree along Underwood Street nearer 40^th Avenue.

• This was not a random shooting. It appears the shooter and the victim knew each other.

• University Park Police responded about 2:35 p.m. on Wednesday, November 17.

• The victim was a 19-year-old male resident of the Lewisdale neighborhood – East of Riggs Road and South of University Boulevard.

• Prince George’s County Police continue to investigate the homicide.

• University Park Police Department patrols are being supplemented with additional patrols by Police Officers from the Town of Forest Heights and City of Hyattsville assisting University Park Police.

• We will issue additional updates via the Mayor’s list when additional information becomes available.

• We will plan to hold a virtual Town Hall forum after Thanksgiving and when we can further discuss this homicide.
