In a devastating turn of events, a memorial vigil for three high school football teammates ended in tragedy on Friday night at Wise High School in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Following the memorial for Vikings cornerback Khyree Jackson, AJ Lytton Jr., and Isaiah Hazel, two individuals were shot, leading to one fatality and one injury.

According to reports from Fox 5 in Washington D.C, a male victim was shot in the chest and sadly succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital. Additionally, a woman was shot in the leg and has been transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Both victims, who were in their 20s, were targeted during the incident.

Law enforcement officials have recovered at least one gun from the scene and are currently investigating the shooting. The motive behind the shooting remains unknown at this time.

The vigil was held in remembrance of the three high school football teammates who tragically lost their lives in a car crash last week in Prince George's County. Preliminary investigations suggest that another vehicle collided with Jackson's car, causing it to veer off the road and collide with multiple tree stumps.

Khyree Jackson, a talented rookie cornerback, had recently been drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Isaiah Hazel had pursued his football career at the collegiate level, playing for both Maryland and Charlotte. Likewise, AJ Lytton Jr. had played for Florida State and Penn State, following his high school career.

The shooting incident has left the community in shock, adding further heartbreak to an already devastating situation. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward, as they work diligently to bring those responsible to justice.

As the investigation unfolds, the focus remains on remembering the lives of Khyree Jackson, AJ Lytton Jr., and Isaiah Hazel, whose potential and promising futures were tragically cut short. Their loss has left a profound impact on their loved ones, teammates, and the community as a whole.

Updated information regarding the shooting incident and the ongoing investigation will be provided as it becomes available.
