Teen’s Bright Future Stolen in Tragic Clinton Shooting, Community Mourns Camron Adams

PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, Md. — A quiet Sunday morning in Clinton, Maryland, was shattered by a fatal shooting that claimed the life of 17-year-old Camron Anthony Adams and left an adult male wounded. The incident occurred on July 20, 2025, in the 6800 block of Killarney Street, prompting a swift response from Prince George’s County Police Department (PGPD) officers following multiple 911 calls around 11:25 a.m.
Officers arrived at the scene to find Camron Anthony Adams, a Clinton resident, inside a car, suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite efforts to provide medical aid, the teenager was pronounced dead at the scene. Camron, who was weeks away from beginning his senior year, was remembered by friends and family as a kind and promising young man whose life was cut tragically short.
While initial reports suggested a second victim, an adult male, was injured in the same incident, subsequent updates from authorities have not confirmed additional victims in this specific shooting. The focus remains on the loss of Camron and the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
Detectives from the PGPD Homicide Unit have been diligently working to piece together the events leading up to the shooting. They have canvassed the neighborhood, reviewed surveillance footage, and conducted witness interviews, but as of July 21, 2025, no motive has been established, and no suspects have been identified. The department is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment in the case. Anyone with details is urged to contact the Homicide Unit at 301-516-2512 or Prince George’s County Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477), with the option to remain anonymous.
A PGPD spokesperson described the killing as “a senseless act that stole a bright future,” emphasizing the department’s commitment to pursuing justice. “Our detectives will work relentlessly until those responsible are held accountable,” the spokesperson said.
As the community grieves, tributes for Camron have begun to appear online, with candles lit and memories shared by those who knew him. Residents are rallying in hopes that cooperation with law enforcement will bring answers and prevent further tragedies. The investigation remains active, and police continue to seek public assistance to bring closure to Camron’s family and the Clinton community.
