 It is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest sympathies to the families, friends, and community members affected by the tragic vehicle collision that claimed the lives of Khyree Jackson, Isaiah Hazel, and Anthony Lytton, Jr. This devastating incident has brought immense grief to our community as we remember these young men who were beloved alumni of Wise High School.

We join the Minnesota Vikings and the wider sports community in mourning the loss of Khyree Jackson, whose promising career and vibrant spirit touched many lives. Our thoughts are also with the Hazel and Lytton families as they navigate through this incredibly difficult time. No words can adequately convey the pain and loss you are experiencing, but please know that Prince George’s County stands with you.

In moments of tragedy, it is essential to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to public safety. The Prince George's County Council prioritizes the safety and well-being of all our residents. We are dedicated to working closely with law enforcement agencies, community leaders, and citizens to make our roads safer.

As Maryland State Police continue their investigation, let us honor the memories of Khyree, Isaiah, and Anthony by committing to safer practices on the road and supporting one another.
