On the evening of April 24, 2018, 18-year-old William Riley Jr. of Howard County was found inside a vehicle in the 15800 block of Millbrook Lane in Laurel, Maryland, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Police were initially dispatched on a report of a car accident around 7:30 p.m., but determined Riley had been shot while in his car and, in an apparent attempt to flee his assailant, crashed into a parked vehicle. He was taken to Prince George’s Hospital Center and pronounced dead.

Authorities said a motive was not immediately clear but did not believe the shooting was random. Friends and family held a vigil at Hammond High School in Columbia and his family was presented with his high school football jersey. Five days after the killing, an arrest warrant was issued for 18-year-old Steven Jerome Clark Jr., and Clark was located and taken into custody on May 21, 2018, in Wilmington, North Carolina pending extradition to Maryland.
