Prince George’s County police said Friday that they have charged a teenage boy with murder in last week’s shooting of a 16-year-old girl near DuVal High School.
Police Chief Malik Aziz said officers arrested a 17-year-old Glenarden boy and charged him with killing Jayda Medrano-Moore while she was walking home from the school in Lanham on Sept. 11.
The suspect told a friend that he was fighting over a gun with Jayda when the gun went off and mortally wounded the girl, according to charging documents. “It seems like we are here way too often,” Chief Aziz said. “I’m frustrated that the violent few are disrupting the education and promising future of our great children in Prince George’s County. Now that we’ve made this arrest, I’m hoping to bring some degree of comfort to the family.”Chief Aziz said police haven’t found the murder weapon and don’t know how the suspect came into possession of the gun.
