PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. — A 17-year-old was arrested at his high school Monday and charged with murder following a deadly shooting at Southern Avenue Metro station Sunday afternoon.
D’Hani Rispus was taken into custody by Metro Transit Police at Roosevelt High School in Northwest, D.C. after a search involving the U.S. Marshals Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force and the Metropolitan Police Department. He will be extradited to Maryland, where he'll be charged as an adult with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, firearm use in a crime of violence and possession of a loaded gun.
Rispus is facing the charges after 19-year-old Bacari Colvin was shot to death around 4:45 p.m. Sunday in the Southern Ave Metro station parking lot. First responders administered first aid, but Colvin was pronounced dead at the scene. On Sunday, police said they were actively searching for a suspect who had been seen running away from the scene.
The deadly shooting caused Green Line delays, with trains bypassing the Southern Ave station and buses being rerouted while police were on scene investigating.
