Officers arrested Anthony Shaw, 31, and a 16-year-old boy, both of Washington DC, after reports of a shooting on the 2500 block of Corning Avenue around 1:00 p.m. on May 4, according to the Prince George's County Police Department.
Officers found the victim suffering from gunshot wounds in the roadway. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim's identity is pending release upon notifying loved ones. Police were able to locate Shaw and the teen attempting to leave the area, leading to a brief pursuit, say officials.
The suspects lost control of their vehicle and crashed on the 4800 block of Wheeler Road, where they began to flee on foot. The teenage suspect was arrested nearby and Shaw was later arrested in D.C., according to authorities.
A preliminary investigation suggests the suspects did not know the victim and shot him after robbing him, say police.
Both suspects are charged with first-degree murder and related charges. The juvenile suspect is in the custody of the Prince George’s County Department of Corrections on a no-bond status, say officials.
