San Francisco resident Christopher Allen Brown, Jr., 23, is in custody in California and is facing a murder charge in connection to the death of Prince George's County resident Dameon Broadus, 44, of Landover in August.
At approximately 3:40 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 25, patrol officers were called to the 3200 block of 75th Avenue for a welfare check, and upon arrival, they located Broadus dead inside the apartment suffering from blunt force trauma to his body.
An autopsy of Broadus’ body determined his cause of death to be "sharp force trauma and the manner was declared a homicide," according to the Medical Examiner.
The preliminary investigation determined that Brown and Broadus knew each other, though the cause of the murder remains under investigation.

Brown remains in custody out west, pending his extradition back to Prince George’s County, where he will be charged with first-degree murder and related charges, according to police.
The investigation is ongoing.
