Desmond Thomas, 30, was shot and killed at a park in Fort Washington following an argument.
Donnell Thomas rushed to the park in Fort Washington after getting a frantic phone call from his son’s mother. He saw his son’s car in the parking lot, the lone one, blocked off by yellow crime scene tape surrounding the park.
“Yes, it is my son, and he was gone,” the 56-year-old father recalled the homicide detective telling him. Desmond Thomas, 30, who had gone to the park on Old Fort Road to play basketball, had been fatally shot Friday afternoon during a dispute, authorities said. Thomas and a surviving victim were at the park to play basketball, according to the charging documents. Two female juveniles were there, and the documents allege Smith is the father of one of them.
A spokeswoman from the public defender’s office said in a statement Tuesday that she does not anticipate attorneys being able to provide any comment at this time in the proceedings. Desmond Thomas, a High Point High School graduate, worked at Amazon. His favorite sport to watch was football, the Las Vegas Raiders, and his favorite sport to play was basketball, which he often did with his 6-year-old son.
