Ja'Quan Green, 21, was arrested Thursday, July 7, for the killing of Daniel James Harris, 20, according to the Prince George's County police department.

Green is accused of shooting Harris in the 1700 block of Forest Park Drive in District Heights around 1:30 a.m., June 13. Initial investigation revealed that Green and Harris did not know each other, and the motive is currently unknown.
