A dispute among acquaintances in Temple Hills, Maryland, ended with the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Brian Crayton Jr. in the early hours of December 1, 2018. Police found Crayton outside a residence in the 4000 block of Birchtree Lane just before 2:15 a.m.; he had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim is described as a Black male from Waldorf.

Detectives concluded the shooting was not random and tied it to an ongoing conflict after an argument that brought Crayton and others to the location. Investigators say an unarmed Crayton was shot in the chest during a hostile confrontation. In April 2019, 23-year-old Donnell Cato of Temple Hills was arrested in Washington, D.C., and charged in Prince George’s County with first and second-degree murder and related counts in connection with Crayton’s death.

Did anyone in the Temple Hills or Waldorf area have contact with Brian Crayton Jr. around the end of November 2018 who can add details about the argument or the people involved?
