In the early morning hours of August 23, 2022, the life of 32-year-old Marco Deangelo Sawyer of Capitol Heights, Maryland, was tragically cut short. Patrol officers from the Prince George's County Police Department were dispatched to the 4000 block of Silver Hill Road in Suitland at approximately 4:40 a.m. following a report of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Sawyer unresponsive, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Emergency medical services promptly transported him
to a nearby hospital in a desperate attempt to save his life. Despite their efforts, Marco Sawyer was pronounced dead a short time later. The energetic and compassionate father, known for his kindness and devotion to his family, became the subject of a homicide investigation launched by the department's Homicide Unit. In the days that followed, law enforcement officials announced a reward of up to $25,000 for any information that would lead to an arrest and indictment in the case.
Detectives immediately began the arduous task of piecing together the events that led to the fatal shooting, working to identify a suspect or suspects and a motive. They urged anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it might seem, to come forward and contact them or to leave anonymous tips through Crime Solvers. The investigation into the death of Marco Sawyer remains ongoing, and to date, no arrests have been publicly announced, nor have any suspects been officially named in connection with his murder.
