Quincy Johnson, of Takoma Park, and Lanham resident D'Andre Wint, both 20, were found shot to death at the Nolte Local Park in the 200 block of Denver Road late in the afternoon on Sunday, May 26.

On Monday, Aug. 26, authorities announced that 15-year-old Onyx Santana Austin was arrested at Dulles International Airport and charged with second-degree murder in connection to the Memorial Day weekend homicide.

Officers were called shortly before 7 p.m. to the 200 block of Denver Road in Silver Spring, where they found Johnson and Wint both suffering from gunshot wounds. Both were treated at the scene by first responders and pronounced dead at the scene.
