On a Thursday evening in September, the sound of gunshots broke the night's calm in Oxon Hill, Maryland, leading to the discovery of a grim scene. On September 10, 2020, police officers on patrol in the 600 block of Audrey Lane were drawn by the sound of gunfire. Upon investigation, they found two men outside, both suffering from gunshot wounds. One of these men was 26-year-old Kion Scott, a male resident of Oxon Hill.
Emergency services were called to the scene, but tragically, both
Scott and the other victim, 27-year-old Davonte Simms of Alexandria, Virginia, were pronounced dead at the location. The Prince George’s County Police Department's Homicide Unit immediately began an investigation into the double homicide.
In the days following the shooting, detectives worked to piece together the events that led to the deaths of the two young men. They sought to identify a suspect or suspects and determine a motive for the killings. As part of their efforts to gather information from the public, a reward of up to $25,000 was offered for any information that would lead to an arrest and indictment in the case.
Despite the ongoing investigation and the offered reward, information regarding any arrests, identified suspects, or charges in connection with the deaths of Kion Scott and Davonte Simms has not been publicly released. The case remains a painful and unresolved chapter for the families and the community, a story that concluded with loss and unanswered questions that have lingered since that fateful night.
