Maryland State Police name suspect in road rage killing of Nyah Hairston as probe into other fatal shootings continues

Prince George’s County, MD — A suspect has been identified and charged in the fatal road rage shooting of 22-year-old Nyah Hairston, who was killed on May 3, 2024, in Prince George’s County, according to Maryland State Police.

The announcement was made Wednesday by the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit, which is leading the investigation alongside local, state, and federal law enforcement partners. Authorities have not yet publicly released the name of the suspect, but confirmed charges have been filed in connection with Hairston’s death.

Hairston was fatally shot following a reported road rage incident along a Prince George’s County highway. Her death drew widespread attention and fueled calls for stronger enforcement on aggressive driving and gun violence tied to roadway altercations.

While police have made progress in Hairston’s case, the investigations into two other deadly road rage shootings remain open. Charles Marks and Delonte Hicks were each killed in separate incidents, and Maryland State Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

In an effort to generate new leads, the department is offering one of the largest reward amounts in its history for tips that help solve these unsolved homicides. Exact reward figures were not disclosed, but officials have emphasized that community assistance remains critical.

Investigators continue to examine surveillance footage, digital evidence, and witness statements to track down the individuals responsible for the killings.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Maryland State Police or submit tips anonymously.
