Montgomery County authorities are currently investigating a homicide after 38-year-old Vincent De Porres Young II was found dead in his Rockville apartment. According to a press release from the Montgomery County Department of Police, Young's body was discovered last month on June 14, exhibiting gunshot wounds.
Local police received a call to check the welfare of an individual at the 600 block of Blandford Street, at around 7:51 a.m., whereupon Young's body was found and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The subsequent autopsy carried out by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore ruled the death a homicide, and detectives have been working the case since then. As of now, no suspects have been publicly identified, and the investigation remains active and ongoing.
Officials have not provided much information concerning potential leads or motives in the slaying of Young, a resident of Rockville. What is clear is that the police are treating this as a deliberate act of violence and are appealing to the community for their assistance.
