Prince George’s County police responded to the 7200 block of Shockley Court for reports of gunshots around 7:30 p.m. Sunday. When they arrived they found 22-year-old Giovanni Little, a Fort Washington resident, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
Within several minutes of the shooting, police located two suspects not far from the scene: Irving Silva, a 25-year-old of Northwest D.C., and Jelani Edwards, a 17-year-old of Brentwood, Maryland. Police took them into custody.
