On the morning of Sunday, January 3, 2016, 33-year-old Larry Ellis Jr. of Clinton was found outside on the 3900 block of Kilbourne Drive in Fort Washington, Maryland, suffering from gunshot wounds. Prince George’s County Police conducted a welfare check shortly before 5 a.m.; Ellis was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives quickly determined Ellis knew his assailants and that robbery was the apparent motive. Investigators identified 29-year-old Tyron Taylor of Fort Washington and 25-year-old James Baskins of Northwest Washington as suspects. Both men were located in Fort Washington and taken into custody the same evening; they were charged with first- and second-degree murder and additional related counts in connection with Ellis’s death.

If anyone has information about Ellis, his whereabouts before the shooting, or the events that morning, please come forward.
