On the morning of February 4, 2013, 20-year-old Salaam Adams of Durham, North Carolina, was found dead in Oxon Run Park in Hillcrest Heights, Maryland. Maryland-National Capital Park Police responded to a call about a man down in the 2600 block of Oxon Run Drive at about 7:25 a.m.; Adams was located in an open area of the park with an apparent gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Prince George’s County Police Homicide Unit investigated and, within days, arrested 26-year-old Brandon Anthony Battle of Greenbelt.

On February 7, 2013, Battle was taken into custody and charged with first- and second-degree murder and held without bond. Salaam Muhammad Adams was born September 3, 1992, in Durham County to Floyd Anthony Adams and Rowena Weathers Adams; family described him as fun-loving and respectful and noted he enjoyed writing his own rap music.

Did anyone in the Durham or Hillcrest Heights area know Salaam or have information about that morning in the park?
