On October 15th, at approximately 8:15 pm, officers with the Fairmount Heights Police Department responded to the 1000 block of 56th Avenue for a shooting. They discovered the victim inside of a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead on the scene.

Detectives are working to determine a motive and identify a suspect(s). Preliminarily, they do not believe this was a random crime, meaning that they believe Green was killed on purpose and by someone who had a motive, yet to be discovered by the detectives.

The Prince George’s County Police Department investigates all homicides in the Town of Fairmount Heights due to the small police agency in the town and their general lack of depth and experience in murder investigations.
