Prince George's County Breaks Homicide Record

Record Was First Set In 1991

UPDATED: 7:16 pm EST November 22, 2005

There have now been a record number of homicides in Prince George's County, as police are investigating yet another suspicious death.

Police said a man found shot to death in Riverdale Heights has become the 155th homicide case in the county so far this year. He was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, police said, in the 6400 block of Riverdale Road about 8:15 p.m. Monday.

The previous record of 154 homicides was set back in 1991.

In the latest homicide, bullets fired through a window killed a 24-year-old man. The shooting almost claimed another victim, as a bullet smashed through the sliding glass door of an innocent bystander and slammed into a wall near the foot of a crib where a baby was sleeping.

Witnesses told police they saw two men running from the scene of the shooting. So far, no arrests have been made.

Then shortly before 4 a.m. Tuesday, police were called to the 6200 block of Kolb Street, in the Cedar Heights section of the county where they found an adult male in the middle of the street.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene and homicide investigators were called, but so far police have only classified this as a suspicious death.
