In the late summer evening of August 24, 2020, tragedy struck in the Langley Park area of Hyattsville, Maryland, forever altering the lives of a local family. Jose Borjas-Flores, a 42-year-old male, was fatally wounded in a shooting that erupted in the 7900 block of 14th Avenue. The violent encounter, which took place at approximately 10:35 p.m., also left two other men injured and in need of hospital care.
When patrol officers from the Prince George's County Police Department arrived at the scene, they discovered Mr. Borjas-Flores outside, suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite immediate medical attention, he was pronounced dead at the location.
The investigation into the homicide was promptly initiated by the Prince George's County Police detectives. In the days following the incident, the department publicly identified Jose Borjas-Flores as the deceased victim, noting his last known address was in Langley Park. Investigators began the arduous task of piecing together the events of that night, working to determine a motive and identify any potential suspects involved in the deadly shooting.
In an effort to gather more information, the police department issued a public appeal for assistance. They urged anyone with knowledge of the shooting to come forward and contact the Homicide Unit or to provide anonymous tips through the Crime Solvers hotline. A cash reward was offered as an incentive for information leading to an arrest and indictment in the case. Despite these efforts and the ongoing investigation, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests made or specific suspects identified in connection with the death of Jose Borjas-Flores. The case remains an open and active homicide investigation as detectives continue to seek answers and justice for the victim and his family.
