BALTIMORE -- A $25,000 reward is being offered for an arrest in a deadly shooting at a vigil for Minnesota Vikings cornerback and Maryland native Khyree Jackson, who died with two others in a car crash on July 6 in Prince George's County .
Police said 24-year-old Shahid Omar Jr. died, and a woman was injured, from the shooting Friday night in the parking lot of Wise High School in Upper Marlboro, where Jackson, and the two others who died in the crash, Isaiah Hazel and AJ Lytton Jr., graduated and were star football players.
Jackson was selected in April's NFL Draft by the Vikings in the fourth round after he played college football at Alabama and Oregon. Lytton played at Florida State and Penn State and Hazel played at Maryland and Charlotte.

Police said Jackson, Lytton and Hazel were driving in a Dodge Charger around 3 a.m. on July 6 when they were struck by a car and ran off the road off Route 4 in Prince George's County.
Maryland State Police say 23-year-old Cori Clingman was changing lanes while driving east when she struck their car, forcing them to hit several trees. Alcohol is believed to have been a contributor, troopers say.
"They shared a beautiful relationship," Parrish told WJZ. "It went beyond football. It was a bond and a friendship. We'll never forget who they were."
