A 22-year-old Stafford man who was wanted for murder charges in Maryland was arrested yesterday in a joint operation between Stafford County Sheriff’s Office and Prince George’s County Police Department’s Fugitive Unit.
On Sunday, May 19, at around 1:45 a.m., PGPD said its officers responded to a shopping center parking lot in the 6400 block of Marlboro Pike where there was a car meet.
The officers found 26-year-old John Phipps of Waldorf, MD in a vehicle suffering from gunshots. He was pronounced dead a short time later, PGPD stated.
Another unnamed man was also shot, but his injuries were not considered life threatening, the department added.
With assistance from the community and Prince George’s County Crime Solvers, the Homicide Unit identified the suspect as 22-year-old Raheem Davon Adams of Stafford.
PGPD said the Fugitive Unit located Adams. And yesterday, he was taken into custody at his residence in the Highpoint subdivision.
Adams is charged with 1st and 2nd degree murder, 1st and 2nd degree attempted murder and other “related charges,” said PGPD.
He’s currently in Rappahannock Regional Jail awaiting extradition.
