WASHINGTON — A grand jury indicted a D.C. man Wednesday on two counts of felony murder and other related charges. He faces a maximum of life in prison if convicted of the charges.
Corde Fitzhugh-Clingman, 23, was arrested last year for killing Muntsier Sharfi in 2021 and Zekariya Elmi in 2022.
On July 8, 2021, Prince George's County Fire and EMS were called to the 3300 block of Southern Avenue just after 9 p.m. When crews arrived, they found an overturned vehicle.
Sharfi, 24, was found shot to death inside the overturned car. His body was taken to the Maryland Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and investigators found he was originally shot in the 3300 block of Erie Street in Southeast D.C.
Sharfi was a former college football player who became the District's 99th homicide in 2021. During his college football career played for both Bowie State and UVA-Wise.
On April 25, 2022, MPD officers were called to the 5000 block of South Dakota Avenue just after 11:30 p.m. for reports of a traffic accident and a shooting.
When officers arrived, they found the driver, Elmi. The 26-year-old had been shot.
Elmi was taken to an area hospital for help where he died a short time later.
Police identified Fitzhugh-Clingman as a suspect in both homicides and arrested him last year. He is expected in court for an arraignment on Friday.
