Lieutenant Kyle Clark of the Maryland State Police advised anyone in the community to keep an open mind and follow up on any information regarding shootings or this case, whether it be in Maryland or one of the neighboring states. This will allow them to piece the story together and potentially solve the case.

In an interview with FOX 5, Hairston’s great-aunt Florence James urged others to come forward.

“Someone recorded an observation. A person has heard something, and someone knows something.

Thus, I’m requesting that you be a stand-up person and come up and share your knowledge,” James remarked. “It’s still so surreal that you just still can’t believe that something like that happened to our Nyah.”

The FBI is attempting to assist in the case’s resolution as well.
