And it's also not in a commercial district.

"The address is in a commercial district about one mile east of the College Park campus of the University of Maryland."
As has been pointed out, this is very incorrect. However, it is two block behind Tick Tock.
So, there's a tip. Check their cameras.

I don't doubt it's a tragedy regardless of where it happened. But when reporters from the local news section of the website don't know basic geography of the area they're reporting on it makes me wonder about the accuracy of other aspects of the reporting as well.

Riggs Road is to the west of the University of Maryland, not the east.
