Prince George’s County police have made an arrest in a shooting that left one teenager dead and another in critical condition.
Marcos Melendez Umanzor, 20, is charged with killing a 13-year-old Annie Davalos and wounding a 14-year-old girl just before 2 a.m. on Tuesday. It happened on 15th Avenue in Langley Park, Maryland. The 13-year-old had been reported missing in Montgomery County.
“My heart breaks for her family, for the community, for those who knew her, loved her and those who were praying that she would return home,” said Prince George’s County Executive Aisha Braveboy.
Investigators said the double shooting stemmed from an argument.
“Right now, we do believe they knew one another, but as far as the actual motive, we’re still looking into that,” said Prince George’s County Police Chief George Nader.
The killing was one of seven homicides in Prince George’s County in less than a week.
