Surveillance video from a convenience store shows the injured UPS worker driving up, limping across the parking lot and sitting down. Police say they believe he cut off another driver and that person responded by shooting him.

"We believe it was a minor fender bender," says PGPD Deputy Chief James McCreary. "When the decedent exited his vehicle to exchange information with the suspect, we’re still trying to verify exactly what happened in the transaction between the two, but the suspect in that incident discharged his firearm at our decedent killing him on scene."

Despite the surge in violence over the last few days, police say both homicides and shootings are down over this time last year. However, 2021 was especially deadly in Prince George’s County hitting a number not seen in over a decade.
