The family of a Hyattsville, Maryland, man who was gunned down earlier this year is pleading for help to solve the case and bury their loved one.
On the night of New Year鈥檚 Day, 36-year-old Oluwatosin 鈥淭osin鈥� Adetula was shot several times along Bladensburg Road in the Cottage City area of Prince George鈥檚 County. It happened just over the D.C. line.
He died from his injuries earlier this week, and right now, police say they aren鈥檛 working with very much when it comes to clues. There鈥檚 no apparent motive just yet 鈥� no indication this was a robbery or carjacking gone bad, since the vehicle was still there when police arrived 鈥� and at this point, nothing suggests Adetula was targeted ahead of time.
On Thursday, Adetula鈥檚 family released a statement and pictures of their loved one, hoping it will help bring closure to what they鈥檙e describing as a 鈥渘ightmare鈥� while they also work to plan a funeral.
Adetula was born in Nigeria and moved to the United States in 2009. His family said in addition to working as a rideshare driver, he was also a security professional, and said, 鈥淭hroughout his life, Tosin was a hardworking, law-abiding citizen, dedicating himself to his work.鈥�
