Joseph Jevon Dorsey was 25 when he was shot and killed in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, on May 1, 2009. A Temple Hills resident by then, he was known to friends as Joe or Black and to family as Je’Von. Born in Washington, D.C., he attended public schools in Prince George’s and St. Mary’s Counties.

Descriptions of Joseph emphasize his love of music, particularly Gucci Mane, and his devotion to family — nephews, younger cousins and a godson. Few public details about the shooting were released at the time, and the case remained unsolved for many years, causing continued pain for his family and friends.

If anyone knew Joseph, his routines, who he spent time with in Upper Marlboro around May 1, 2009, or has information that could help explain what happened that evening, please come forward.
