In the early morning hours of a Friday in June 2005, 35-year-old Jason Garland Winfrey was found dead in the driver’s seat of his forest green Jeep Wrangler in the Springhill Lake apartments parking lot in Greenbelt. Police discovered the vehicle with its engine running and the driver’s-side window shattered around 3 a.m.; an autopsy later confirmed a fatal gunshot wound to the head. At the time of the initial investigation no suspects had been identified and the murder weapon was missing.
Hours earlier Winfrey had spent an ordinary evening out with friends, watching the NBA Finals at a T.G.I. Friday’s and later singing karaoke at Willy K’s Bar and Grill. He had been a recently hired English teacher and former basketball coach at Bowie High School and was described as dedicated and well respected by colleagues and students. He and his wife were days away from their first anniversary and had a vacation planned.
Detectives pursued leads in the days and weeks after the killing but no arrests were announced and the case remains unsolved. Does anyone who knew Winfrey, saw him that night, or remembers the Springhill Lake area early that June morning have information to share?
