Hyattsville shooting kills Christopher Hall; Jalleel Jackson, 39, charged with murder

Christopher Hall, 33, of Carrollton, Virginia, died after being shot late Tuesday night in an unincorporated section of Hyattsville, Prince George’s County police say. Homicide Unit detectives have charged 39-year-old Jalleel Jackson of Washington, D.C., in the killing, and investigators say the two men worked together at the business where the shooting occurred.

Prince George’s County Police Department officers responded to the 3300 block of 52nd Avenue at about 10:45 p.m. on Feb. 10 after reports of a shooting. Officers found Christopher Hall suffering from gunshot wounds and transported him to a hospital, where he died a short time later. Patrol and Homicide Unit detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Investigators say the preliminary probe found Jackson shot Hall during a dispute at their workplace. Homicide Unit detectives identified and charged Jackson; WJLA’s reporting indicates he faces a first-degree murder charge among other possible charges. Police have not released the name of the workplace, the weapon used, or a detailed motive beyond the described dispute.

Early reports the night after the shooting did not name the victim or indicate any arrests; detectives later developed evidence leading to the arrest and charging of Jackson. That sequence reflects an active, evolving investigation rather than a contradiction in reporting. The Homicide Unit is asking for public assistance as detectives work to reconstruct events and any lead-up to the argument.

This investigation remains open. Prince George’s County Homicide Unit detectives continue to gather evidence and interview witnesses, and prosecutors will determine formal charges and the timing of court appearances. For readers, the coming days should clarify whether prosecutors file additional counts, when Jackson will appear in court, and whether police release further details about the workplace and motive. In the meantime, the community can expect heightened police activity in the area and follow-up from county authorities as they work to bring clarity and accountability to this fatal workplace dispute.
