Surveillance images show man wanted in connection with fatal road rage shooting in Prince George's County

Maryland State Police say a verbal altercation led to the shooting of a tow truck driver. Police need help finding the shooter.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — A man is dead following a road rage shooting in College Park on Saturday. 

Maryland State Police released three surveillance images on Wednesday showing the vehicle and man wanted in connection with the deadly shooting.

A statement from MPD says Delonte Hicks, a 29-year-old tow truck driver from D.C., was shot by another driver after the two got into a verbal altercation.

State troopers were notified Saturday of a shooting that occurred around 4:45 p.m. eastbound on U.S. Route 50 near Veterans Parkway. Police say the two drivers exchanged words and at some point, the driver of the second vehicle pulled out a firearm and shot at Hicks. 

Hicks was taken by ambulance to the University of Maryland Capital Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead. No other injuries were reported from the incident.

Three surveillance images from state police show a man investigators believe shot Hicks and the vehicle he was driving in. The vehicle in the photo is a Hyundai Sonata, police say. 

After shooting Hicks, police say the gunman proceeded to drive eastbound on Route 50.

State police do not believe either of the drivers knew each other prior to the altercation. 

Homicide detectives from state police are leading the investigation. Anyone with information on this case is asked to call 443-684-1216 or 410-977-9384.
