Shahid Omar, Jr. was killed in a shooting after vigil for Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson.
BALTIMORE – A $25,000 reward is being offered for an arrest in a deadly shooting after a vigil for Minnesota Vikings cornerback and Maryland native Khyree Jackson, who died with two others in a car crash on July 6 in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Police said 24-year-old Shahid Omar Jr. died, and a woman was injured in the shooting. It happened Friday night in the parking lot of Wise High School in Upper Marlboro, where Jackson, and the two others who died in the crash, Isaiah Hazel and AJ Lytton Jr., graduated and played football together.
The Vikings selected Jackson in the fourth round of April’s NFL Draft. Jackson played college football at Alabama and Oregon. Lytton played at Florida State and Penn State and Hazel played at Maryland and Charlotte.
Police said Jackson, Lytton, and Hazel were driving in a car around 3 a.m. on July 6 when they were struck by a car and ran off the road off Route 4 in Prince George’s County.
Maryland State Police say 23-year-old Cori Clingman was changing lanes while driving east when she struck their car, forcing them to hit several trees. Alcohol is believed to have been a contributor, troopers say.
Detectives are working to find a suspect and reveal his motive in the crime. PG County Police are asking anyone who has information about the incident to contact @PGCrimeSolvers on the web or submit a tip using the P3 Tips app.
