Charles County family asking for help to solve daughter’s cold case murder

La PLATA, Md. (DC News Now) — A Charles County mother is seeking justice for her daughter, who was murdered four years ago.

18-year-old Jazmiah Nelson was shot and killed in 2021 in La Plata.

“I would say turn yourself in,” Crystal Pinkney said.

Pinkney is urging her daughter’s killer to come forward and turn themselves in to police.

Nelson was fatally shot in May 2021 while riding a four-wheel ATV with friends during a neighborhood block party near Pomonkey Way in La Plata.

“Jazmiah was a very loving and caring person and a mother. She would give you the shirt off her back if needed. She was genuine and kindhearted. This is painful, and it is hard coping with this loss,” Pinkney said.

Nelson had an online business selling clothing and liked doing hair as a stylist.

Detective Andrea Worley from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said that Nelson was not the target. Police have a few leads, but the killer has not been caught.

“It is the most important thing with this case to bring justice to the family; no one deserves to die and to have these crimes happen to them. And the family doesn’t deserve to go through the grief and loss that they do,” Worley said.

There is a $10,000 reward being offered for information leading to an arrest
