Officers from the Prince George's County Police Department were called at around 6:40 p.m. on Thursday, June 27 to investigate reports of shots fired in the 7400 block of Towne Park Road.
Upon arrival, they found Juan Roach suffering from a fatal gunshot wound, and a second man was also shot. His injuries were considered non-life-threatening.
Investigators say that detectives believe that more than one person fired guns and multiple people were armed at the scene, where one weapon was recovered in the courtyard area of the property.
The circumstances and motive for the shooting remain under investigation as of Monday, July 1.
A GoFundMe on behalf of Roach's family has been started, raising more than $10,000 in just one day as the community rallies around them as they get ready to bury the teen.
