District resident Trevon Hatcherson-Ross, 22, has been arrested and charged in connection to the February 2023 shooting of Elliott on a metro bus on Lockwood Drive in White Oak, according to authorities.
Late on Feb. 17, 2023, members of the Montgomery County Department of Police on patrol in the Vista at White Oak apartments spotted a WMATA Metro Bus pulled over on Lockwood Drive, prompting further investigation, which led to the discovery that a shooting had taken place inside.
Elliott was taken out of the bus and paramedics treated him, but the Silver Spring man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation found that Elliott was sitting in the back of the bus when the suspect boarded the Metro and confronted him. Following a verbal exchange, police say that the suspect pulled out a handgun, shot Elliott, and ran off the bus.
The incident was caught on camera.

He is being held without bond.
