Suspect charged in fatal road rage killing of Nyah Hairston as police continue search in two more deadly cases
PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, MD – State and federal investigators have identified and charged a suspect in the deadly road rage shooting that killed Nyah Hairston in May, as police continue to investigate two other unsolved road-rage homicides still haunting the region.
The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit, working alongside local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, announced Thursday that charges have been filed against the individual responsible for the May 3 shooting that claimed the life of 24-year-old Nyah Hairston in Prince George’s County.
While details about the suspect’s identity and the specific charges have not yet been publicly released, police confirmed that the person is in custody and linked to the fatal shooting following months of investigation.
Hairston was killed in a suspected road rage incident that took place along a major highway corridor in Prince George’s County. Her death marked the beginning of what would become a string of violent roadway confrontations under investigation across the region.
Police say their attention remains heavily focused on two additional unsolved cases: the road rage-related killings of Charles Marks and Delonte Hicks. Both victims were fatally shot under similar circumstances, and investigators are working under the assumption the incidents may be part of a larger pattern of escalating roadway violence.
In an effort to generate new leads, Maryland State Police have issued one of the largest reward offers in department history for information leading to an arrest in either of the remaining two cases. The reward amount and conditions have not been publicly disclosed.
Officials are urging the public to come forward with any relevant information, as these road rage killings have raised alarm across the DMV area, with concerns about the increasing volatility of confrontations on the roadways.
The investigation into all three cases remains active and ongoing.
