Shots Ring Out in Parking Lot After Khyree Jackson Vigil

Over Fourth of July weekend , in their hometown of Marlboro, MD., Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson and two former teammates/friends, Anthony Lytton & Isaiah Hazel, died in a car accident involving two other vehicles. It was shocking news to take in, and an even uglier crash scene.

Shots ring out after candlelight vigil for Minnesota Vikings rookie CB Khyree Jackson

Then, late Friday night in the parking lot of Wise High School (Upper Marlboro, MD) shots rang out as family and friends were clearing out, after a candlelight vigil that was held in the school’s gymnasium , in remembrance of the three lost graduates. When the dust settled, two were shot.

One male was pronounced dead at the hospital, after taking a fatal shot to the chest. One female, who was shot in the leg, is reportedly in stable condition (as of midnight CT).

Apparently, there were fireworks being set off in the parking lot, just prior to the shots being fired. Multiple local news crews, that were in or near the parking lot at the moment of the shooting (just after 10 PM), say that the fireworks were being set off as they were parking and setting up for their broadcasts. The shots rang out shortly after, possibly even in the midst of the fireworks.

It does not appear there have been any arrests made yet. The investigation is reportedly ongoing. This article will be updated as more information comes out.
