At approximately 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23, officers from the Prince George's County Police Department were called to the 3100 block of Branch Avenue, where there was a reported shooting near DMV All Skate Social in Temple Hills.

Upon arrival, officers found suffering from gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The security guard, who was in his 30s and a father of five, was reportedly coming in to work on his off-day to pick up a check.

A call to the DMV All Skate Social on Friday morning was not immediately returned. The business is expected to be closed over the weekend until a new security head can be put in place.

It is unclear who shot the security guard or what the possible motive was. The victim's identity has not been released by the police.

The investigation into the fatal shooting is ongoing.
