Kamonte Dwayne Frazier, a 20-year-old man from Washington, D.C., was killed on the night of March 27, 2026, in Rockville, Maryland. The shooting unfolded around 10:20 p.m. in the 12900 block of Twinbrook Parkway, where Montgomery County police officers and Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service personnel were called after reports of a shooting. When officers reached the scene, they found Frazier in a parking lot suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
Officers began CPR while waiting for fire and rescue personnel to arrive, trying to keep him alive in the moments after the shooting. He was then transported to an area hospital, but despite those emergency efforts, he was pronounced dead. His body was later taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, which ruled his manner of death a homicide.
The killing left his family facing another devastating loss. Relatives described Frazier as someone who was loved despite mistakes and struggles, and one family account said he had recently lost his only brother to cancer. Family members also said he was a father, and they began raising money to help cover funeral and burial expenses after his death.
Police have said the case remains an active and ongoing homicide investigation. As of the available reports, no suspect information had been released, no suspected shooter had been identified publicly, and no arrests had been made. Detectives with the Montgomery County Department of Police Major Crimes Division continued gathering information and asked anyone with knowledge of the shooting to come forward, with anonymous tips potentially eligible for a reward if they lead to an arrest.
