Dwayne Farmer, 32, is charged with fatally shooting Julian Kirkland, 28, of District Heights, Prince George's County Police said.

Farmer allegedly shot Kirkland after the two got into a fight in the 2600 block of Kent Village Drive around 8:10 p.m. on August 25, 2021, police said.

Kirkland was apparently shot while attempting TikTok's "milk crate challenge," according to an article from Daily Mail.

Kirkland, who died a short time after, left behind a two-year-old daughter named Journey, according to a GoFundMe organized in his honor.

"Julian's life was cut short due to senseless gun violence," the GoFundMe read. "A son, A father, A brother, and an amazing one of a kind friend, Julian was loved by many."

Farmer is being held without bond on first-degree murder and other charges, police said. Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact police at 301-516-2512.
