A Landover resident identified as 60-year-old Constance Miller has died after being found with gunshot injuries in the 3100 block of 75th Avenue, the Prince George’s County Police Department Homicide Unit reported. Miller was discovered on January 8 and succumbed to her injuries on January 16, and detectives are working to determine motive and identify suspects.

Investigators have opened a homicide investigation and are urging anyone with information to contact the Homicide Unit at 301-516-2512 or submit tips through Crime Solvers or the P3 Tips mobile app. A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and indictment in the case.

The shooting and subsequent death heighten concerns about public safety in Landover and across Prince George’s County. The location - the 3100 block of 75th Avenue - sits amid residential blocks where neighbors have in recent years pushed for more visible patrols and community policing initiatives. A homicide in a neighborhood street raises immediate questions about street-level violence, response times, and the resources available to the county’s investigative units.

Institutionally, the case places focus on the Homicide Unit’s capacity to clear complex cases and on county leaders who set public safety priorities and budgets. County executive offices and council members responsible for policing funding and violence prevention programs may face renewed calls from residents and advocacy groups for targeted interventions, including community-based outreach, street lighting and environmental design, and investments in investigative and forensic capacity.

For residents, the practical next steps are straightforward. Anyone with direct knowledge of the incident or who saw unusual activity in the area around early January is asked to contact the Homicide Unit at the listed number or use Crime Solvers or the P3 Tips app to pass along information. The reward incentive is intended to encourage community cooperation in securing evidence that could lead to an arrest.

Beyond the immediate investigation, the case is likely to reverberate in local civic conversations about safety and accountability. Community meetings, neighborhood watches, and county oversight hearings are typical forums where residents press for answers and policy change after violent incidents. The outcome of detectives’ work and any resulting prosecutions will shape public confidence in law enforcement and influence how county officials prioritize public safety resources in the months ahead.
