On a cold Saturday night in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, the life of 48-year-old Sharone Redding was tragically cut short in an act of violence that continues to baffle investigators. On January 30, 2021, Redding, a female, was inside her home on Dunkirk Drive when she was fatally shot. The preliminary investigation suggests that the suspect or suspects fired into her house from the outside, striking her.
Responding to a call at approximately 9:25 p.m., Prince George's County police
officers discovered the grim scene. From the outset, detectives have stated that they do not believe this was a random act of violence, suggesting that Redding may have been targeted. Despite this belief, a motive for the shooting has not been publicly identified, leaving a community in search of answers.
In the years that have followed, the investigation into Sharone Redding's murder has remained ongoing, yet no suspects have been publicly named, and no arrests have been made. The case is now considered a cold case homicide. Authorities are offering a substantial reward of up to $25,000 for any information that leads to an arrest and indictment of the individual or individuals responsible for her death. Law enforcement and Redding's loved ones still hope that someone will come forward with the crucial piece of information that will bring a resolution to this senseless tragedy and provide a measure of justice for a life taken too soon.
