More than two years after a teenager was gunned down inside a car, and less than two years after a local rapper was shot dead on a residential street, Prince George's County police say they have obtained arrest warrants for suspects in the two 2024 killings. Arrest warrants have been obtained for four men in connection with the 2024 murders of 18-year-old Kesean Pollard and 29-year-old Tresean Sparrow Bey, with two of the suspects now charged in both killings.
According to DC News Now, police obtained warrants on September 30 for Donzell Gibson, Nathaniel Washington, Devin Spivey and Shamar Evans in Pollard's murder. Spivey and Evans were also charged in Sparrow Bey's killing, with warrants in that case obtained in July 2025, police said. Gibson and Washington are both 22, Spivey is 22, and Evans is 19, per the same report.
Pollard was killed on October 22, 2024, while riding in a car in Landover. According to nbcwashington.com, police said suspects drove up and opened fire on him as he traveled on 75th Avenue toward Landover Road. Officers found Pollard dead inside the car a short distance away, in the 7100 block of Old Landover Road, the outlet reported. Police have determined that Pollard's shooting stemmed from an ongoing dispute, according to the DC News Now report announcing the arrests.
A Second Killing Nine Days Later
Sparrow Bey was shot and killed on October 31, 2024, in the 900 block of Atlee Drive. Police officers found him outside suffering from gunshot wounds just before 11:30 p.m., and he died at the scene, the station's report states. Police said at the time that they did not believe the shooting was random, though investigators had not yet determined a motive.
There is a discrepancy in how that scene has been described in prior coverage: nbcwashington.com placed the shooting in Landover, while DC News Now's earlier report identified the same block of Atlee Drive as being in Hyattsville. Police had offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment in Sparrow Bey's case, according to the nbcwashington.com report on the shooting.
Charges Link Two Separate Cases
Prince George's County police have not described any known connection between Pollard and Sparrow Bey, and the two shootings do not appear related, despite the overlapping charges against Spivey and Evans. Investigators are still looking into the motive behind Sparrow Bey's murder, even as the arrest warrants move both cases forward.
The arrests arrive against the backdrop of a county that recorded more than 100 homicides for a fourth consecutive year in 2024, according to The Washington Post, even as overall crime declined from the prior year. The Prince George's County Police Department's Joint Analysis Intelligence Center tracks crime data for the county, including through its daily crime report, per the Prince George's County government.
The investigation remains open. Police are asking anyone with information to call 301-516-2512.
