A Prince George's County teenager was found with a fatal gunshot wound yesterday in a car in the parking lot of Forest Village Park Mall, authorities said today.

Officers were responding to a report of gunshots at the Forestville shopping center on the 3300 block of Donnell Drive at about 6 p.m. when they found Shawn Antonio Perry, 18, of Clinton, in the driver's seat, police said. Shot in the torso, Perry was taken to a hospital, where he later died, said Officer Henry Tippett, a Prince George's police spokesman.

Tippett said police have no suspects and are hoping witnesses will step forward. Anyone with information is asked to call the Prince George's County Police Department's Homicide Unit at (301) 772-4925 or Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477). The police department is offering up to $25,000 for information that leads to arrest and indictment of any suspects.
