FORESTVILLE, Md. — Prince George's County Police have arrested and charged a 12-year-old boy from D.C. with first-degree murder after they believe he shot and killed a 13-year-old during a dispute in Forestville late Saturday evening.
According to police, the shooting stemmed from an argument between two groups of juveniles at around 10:15 p.m. in the shopping center in the 1700 block of Ritchie Station Court in Forestville, Maryland.
Once on scene, police say they located the victim outside suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim, later identified as King Douglas, 13, of Upper Marlboro, was pronounced dead on the scene.
A second victim, a 13-year-old boy, was located nearby suffering from stab wounds. Police said his injuries are not considered life-threatening and he has since been released from the hospital.
The 12-year-old charged "had a hearing today, and remains in custody,” said the Prince George's County District Attorney.
Detectives do not believe that this was a random shooting. Officials are working to identify and arrest the suspect who stabbed the surviving victim.
