On a cool autumn evening in the Lake Arbor community near Bowie, Maryland, the life of 19-year-old Trey Scotland was tragically cut short. On November 4, 2019, at approximately 10:45 p.m., police responded to the 1300 block of Fairlakes Place after reports of a shooting. There, they discovered the young man from Bowie inside a car, suffering from a gunshot wound.
Emergency services transported him to a local hospital, but his injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead a short time later.
The Prince George's County Police Department's Homicide Unit immediately began an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting. In the initial stages, detectives worked to identify a motive and any potential suspects involved in the death of Trey Scotland. The case remained under active investigation as authorities appealed to the public for any information that could shed light on the events of that night.
Nearly a year after the fatal shooting, in October 2020, detectives released a video showing two persons of interest they wished to speak with regarding the murder of Trey Scotland. The authorities hoped that the release of this footage would generate new leads from the community. A substantial reward of up to $25,000 was offered for any information that would lead to an arrest and indictment in the case. Despite these efforts, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests made or suspects charged in connection with the death of Trey Scotland. The investigation remains ongoing as his family and community await answers.
