Shots rang out in the area of Largo Center Drive and Arena Drive-Medical Center Drive near Largo Town Center, and a Prince George's County police officer in the area responded after hearing the gunfire, police said.

The officer then found the man suffering from gunshot wounds. He died at the scene, police said.

On Monday, police identified the victim as 27-year-old Craig Rogers II, of Bowie.

Video from Chopper4 shows a large swath of police along Arena/Medical Center Drive and it appeared the victim was shot in the road.
