The Prince George's County Sheriff's Office is asking the public for help finding Gabriel Jones-Brown, who is wanted on a first-degree assault warrant. Deputies are seeking information about his whereabouts and are encouraging anyone with tips to come forward, either directly to the Sheriff's Office or through an anonymous crime tip line.
The bulletin is part of the department's weekly #WantedWednesday outreach, according to a post from Prince George's County, Office Of The Sheriff on Facebook. Anyone with information on Jones-Brown's whereabouts is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office directly at 301-780-8500 or by email at [email protected]. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Solvers of Prince George's County at 1-866-411-TIPS, an independent nonprofit funded by private donations that offers cash rewards of up to $2,500 for information leading to a felony arrest and indictment.
First-degree assault carries serious legal weight in Maryland. Under state law, the charge is classified as a felony punishable by up to 25 years in prison, and it applies to cases involving an intentional attempt to cause serious physical injury or an assault committed with a firearm, according to The Cohen Law Firm. Because the offense is statutorily designated a crime of violence, anyone convicted must serve at least half of any prison sentence before becoming eligible for parole, as explained by Scott MacMullan Law.
A Pattern of Weekly Fugitive Alerts
A Pattern of Weekly Fugitive Alerts A separate first-degree assault case involving Henry Vasquez-Pineda also alleged that he removed an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet. On September 10, 2026, the department published a separate bulletin seeking Joseph Kenny on a felony theft warrant involving property valued at $1,500 to just under $25,000, illustrating the range of offenses the department publicizes through its standardized weekly outreach.
The agency's fugitive alerts have also produced results. On September 2, deputies arrested second-degree rape suspect Hector Choc-Cac in Hyattsville.
Warrant Enforcement Under Sheriff Carr
The push to locate wanted suspects fits into broader priorities set by Sheriff John D.B. Carr, who took office in December 2022 as the county's 118th sheriff after more than 20 years with the department, according to The Washington Post. Carr has made warrant reduction and the apprehension of violent offenders explicit administrative priorities since taking office.
The search comes amid a broader focus on public safety in Prince George's County.
No additional details about the circumstances of the alleged assault, including whether a weapon was involved or when and where the incident occurred, were included in the Sheriff's Office bulletin. Anyone with information about Gabriel Jones-Brown's whereabouts is urged to contact the Sheriff's Office or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Solvers.
