A man was reported shot Monday in Hillcrest Heights, according to a report by DC News Now. Video published with the report shows police activity near a neighborhood gas station, while an ambulance is seen leaving the area; the man's condition has not been independently verified.
The footage, obtained and published by DC News Now, shows the scene unfolding near a Sunoco gas station in the area. That station is located near Colebrooke Drive, according to the outlet's report, though it has not been confirmed as the exact site of the shooting.
The video was shared by Larry Calhoun, identified by DC News Now as a contributor. It shows several police cruisers with their emergency lights activated near the station, but does not establish the circumstances of the shooting or identify anyone involved.
What Remains Unknown
No incident-specific official statement, incident number, or government confirmation has been made public. The identity, age, and condition of the man who was shot have not been verified, and it is not known whether he was transported to a hospital.
Countywide crime context
According to the Prince George's County Police Department's Daily Crime Report, the county recorded 2,587 violent-crime incidents year-to-date through September 21, 2026, down 7% from 2,781 during the same period in 2025. The report says the figures are subject to change and do not include crimes reported to municipal police departments, so they do not provide a Hillcrest Heights-specific count of shootings.
There is also no confirmed information about a suspect, motive, or weapon, and no arrests or charges have been reported. The exact time and precise address of the shooting have not been established beyond the general location in Hillcrest Heights.
Hoodline will continue to follow this story and update it as verified information becomes available from official sources.
