To date there have been no breakthroughs in the investigation as to how a man came to be found dead in his car from a gun shot wound early Tuesday morning.

The 24 year old man, Kenneth Walters, was found slumped over in his car in the community parking lot where he lived, on Liberty Street in Lexington Park. A 911 call to police was made just before 7 a.m. and officers arrived to find Walters dead with a gun shot wound to the back of his head, and as they described it “laying partially in his vehicle.”

Lt. Burris of the St. Mary’s County Bureau of Criminal Investigations is conducting the investigation. Speaking to The Bay Net Thursday afternoon he said there were no updates on the case. 

“We are following up on leads as they come in, talking to the community, and working on the investigation,” Burris told The Bay Net. 

Anyone with any information regarding this incident is asked to contact Lt. Louis F. Burris, Bureau of Criminal Investigations (301-475-4200).
