1 Killed, 1 Injured In Shooting After Vigil For Vikings Rookie Khyree Jackson

UPPER MARLBORO, MD — A man died and a woman was injured Friday night in a shooting following a vigil for Minnesota Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson and two other former Upper Marlboro students killed in a car crash last week, according to police and a report.

Prince George's County police were called to Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School around 10 p.m. for a report of a shooting. When officers arrived, they found a man and woman outside the school suffering from gunshot wounds.

Both victims were taken to the hospital, where the man was pronounced dead. The woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Police have not identified a suspect or motive for the shooting.

The shooting happened after a vigil held at the high school for three former students killed in a car crash last week, according to a WTOP report. Among those killed was Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson.

According to Maryland State Police, the crash happened shortly before 3:15 a.m. on July 6 on northbound Route 4 and Presidential Parkway near Dower House Road in Upper Marlboro.

Isaiah Hazel, 23, and Anthony Lytton Jr., 24, both of Upper Marlboro, also died in the crash. The three men were traveling in a Dodge Charger when it was struck by a silver Infiniti. The driver of the Infiniti was speeding when she attempted to change lanes and hit the Charger, police previously said.

Following the collision, the Charger traveled off the road and struck multiple tree stumps before stopping, police said.

Jackson was selected by the Vikings in the fourth round of the 2024 draft and was considered a contender to start at cornerback. He played his final season of college football at Oregon.

Hazel played at Maryland and Charlotte, while Lytton played at Florida State and Penn State, according to ESPN.
