LANDOVER, Md. — A $35,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the shooter responsible for killing an 8-year-old boy on Tuesday in Landover.
Police say Peyton Evans had returned from football practice and was playing a video game when he was fatally shot.
Right now investigators don't have much to go on.
All they know is a group was gathered outside an apartment on Brightseat Road, when someone in a white sedan pulled up and opened fire.
At least one of those shots made its way through the apartment hitting Evans.
Police do not believe he was the target.
Prince George's County Police Chief Malik Aziz accused the suspect of, "playing out some kind of role of some gangsterisim."
"I'll tell em to their face that is a coward if you shoot in a place and you don't care if kids or anybody else who isn't involved in your situation dies by your hand, you have a reckless disregard for life," said Aziz.
