District resident Carl Sanders, 22, and 19-year-old Andres Rodriguez-Corona, 19, of Waldorf, have both been charged in connection to the fatal shooting inside the store on Thursday afternoon in Hillcrest Heights.
Members of the Prince George’s County Police Department responded at around 5:50 p.m. on Oct. 10 to a reported shooting inside a business in the 3700 block of Branch Avenue, where they found a man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A responding officer spotted three men who matched the descriptions of the suspects approximately a half mile from the scene of the shooting, and when prompted to stop, they all took off on foot.
The first officer was able to apprehend Rodriguez-Corona, who was in possession of a handgun, police say.
Later that night, at around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, investigators were able to track down and arrest Sanders during a traffic stop in the area of 28th Avenue and St. Barnabas Road in Temple Hills.
He was found to be in possession of two ghost guns at the time.
