SUITLAND, Md. — Police are looking for a suspect who killed a Hyattsville man in Suitland on Friday night, the Prince George’s County Police Department said.

Just after 10 p.m. Friday, officers responded to the 4400 block of Telfair Boulevard in Suitland.

When officers arrived, they found a man inside of an apartment suffering from trauma. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
