Do you know who killed Deangelo Green and Rashard Armon Jackson in 2015? In the late hours of a Friday night in Oxon Hill, Maryland, the promise of the weekend was shattered by gunfire. On May 15, 2015, 24-year-old Deangelo Green was standing outside on Audrey Lane when he was struck by multiple gunshots. The Prince George's County Police were summoned to the 700 block of the street just before midnight for a report of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Green gravely wounded.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal.
As the investigation into the shooting began, officers canvassed the area and soon made another grim discovery. Behind a nearby apartment building, they found the body of 35-year-old Rashard Jackson of Bowie. He too had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believe that after being shot, Jackson had run behind the building before collapsing. It was a tragic end to a violent night that claimed two lives.
In the immediate aftermath, detectives from the Prince George's County Police Department's Homicide Unit began piecing together the events of that night. They determined that both Green, an Upper Marlboro resident, and Jackson were together outside when the shooting occurred. While the motive for the double homicide was not immediately clear, authorities stated that they did not believe it was a random act of violence. They suspected that the victims were targeted.
In an effort to bring the person or persons responsible to justice, the police department reached out to the public for assistance. A reward of up to $25,000 was offered for any information that would lead to an arrest and indictment in the case. Despite their efforts and the financial incentive for tips, the investigation into the murders of Deangelo Green and Rashard Jackson has not publicly yielded any suspects or arrests in the years that have followed. The case remains a painful and unresolved chapter for the families of the two men whose lives were cut short on that spring night.
