Do you know who killed Reginald Bernard Brown III in 2015? On a late Tuesday evening in Capitol Heights, Maryland, the lives of several people were irrevocably altered by a burst of gunfire. It was May 12, 2015, when 18-year-old Reginald Bernard Brown III, a male resident of Southeast, D.C., was caught in a quintuple shooting. The incident unfolded in front of a home in the 4700 block of Pard Road at approximately 11:15 p.m.
Emergency services rushed to the chaotic scene to find five men suffering from gunshot wounds.
All the victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment. While four of the men sustained non-life-threatening injuries, Brown succumbed to his wounds and was pronounced dead. The sudden and violent end to a young life left a community in shock and a family in mourning.
In the immediate aftermath, the Prince George's County Police Department launched an investigation into the homicide. Detectives working the case stated their belief that the shooting was not a random act of violence and began the arduous task of determining a motive and identifying those responsible. A reward of up to $25,000 was offered for any information that would lead to an arrest and indictment in connection with the murder of Reginald Brown. Despite these efforts and the public appeal for assistance, there have been no publicly announced arrests, and the identities of any suspects remain unknown. The case of who killed Reginald Bernard Brown III remains unresolved.
