On the evening of April 29, 2007, Duane Edward Nichols was shot and later found dead in the early hours of April 30, 2007, inside a residence at 1307 Early Oaks Lane in the Fairmont Heights area of Capitol Heights, Maryland. An autopsy showed Nichols died from a single gunshot wound to the head. The property was described as an area known for drug activity.

Michael Lamont Stewart was also found dead at the scene, slumped over in a vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds, and another person at the scene survived an apparent attempt on their life. Investigators linked the killings to Davon Nathan Markham. A June 2007 grand jury indicted Markham on first-degree murder charges for Nichols and Stewart. A jury in January 2008 later convicted Markham of Nichols’s murder, Stewart’s murder and the attempted murder count, but an appeal found the trial was improperly delayed and the circuit court’s judgments were reversed and remanded for a new trial.

Does anyone have additional information about the April 29–30, 2007 incident or the people involved?
