Washington Post - Saturday, November 7, 1987
An indentified man was shot and killed late Thursday in Temple Hills, bringing the total number of homicides in Prince George's County to 80 so far this year, county police said.
The unidentified victim, a man in his early thirties, was listed by police as a "John Doe."
Police said that residents of the 3200 block of Lassie Avenue reported hearing gunshots at 11:46 p.m., looked out their windows and saw a man lying in the street.
The police homicide division is investigating the case, but a spokesman said yesterday that there are no suspects.
A new yearly milestone for the number of homicides almost certainly will be established this year in the 487-square-mile county.
A record 86 homicides were committed in the county in 1982.
According to Cpl. Bruce Gentile, a police spokesman, a majority of the slayings in the county are committed inside the Capital Beltway in the high-density population areas
