Kemo Key, 29, was found with a fatal gunshot wound just outside his home in the 4500 block of Ruston Place in Waldorf, Maryland, on the evening of April 30, 2024. A call about an injured man came in around 10:40 p.m.; when officers and paramedics arrived Key was pronounced dead and the Charles County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators noted a puzzling detail: there were no calls reporting the sound of gunshots in the area before Key’s body was discovered, which complicates the timeline of events leading to the shooting. A cash reward is being offered for any tip that leads to an arrest.

If anyone saw activity near Ruston Place that night or has information about the case, please contact the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.
