29-year-old Sharity Cristwell was allegedly killed by her boyfriend just days after he was released from jail following a previous Domestic Violence allegation.

LANDOVER, Md. - The Prince George’s County Police Department Homicide Unit (PGPD) has arrested and charged a Landover man in connection with the fatal shooting of his ex-girlfriend.

What we know:

On July 5, 2025, at approximately 3:35 pm, officers responded to a shooting inside of an apartment in the 700 block of Stretford Way, less than a two-minute drive from Northwest Stadium. The victim, Sharity Cristwell, 29, of Bladensburg, was found with gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
