Maryland man arrested for shooting woman during home invasion in 2022

More than a year after the shooting, police arrested 27-year-old Saatehu Mesutmen for pulling the trigger.

SILVER SPRING, Md. — Police made an arrest more than a year after a woman was shot during a reported home invasion in Silver Spring. 

According to the Montgomery County Department of Police, officers were called to the 13200 block of Stravinsky Terrace just before 12:45 a.m. on April 11, 2022. 

When officers arrived, they found a woman who had been shot. The woman was taken to an area hospital in critical condition. She was treated in the intensive care unit and later released. 

More than a year after the shooting, police arrested 27-year-old Saatehu Mesutmen for allegedly pulling the trigger. 

Investigators believe Mesutmen shot through a sliding glass door at the back of the house multiple times before entering the home and shooting the 58-year-old woman inside. 

Police say Mesutmen and the woman did not know each other before the shooting and have no other connection. 

Mesutmen was identified as a suspect and arrested on May 5. He is currently being held in Prince George's County on unrelated charges. He is expected to be extradited to Montgomery County.
