Prince George’s County police arrested and charged a suspect in a fatal shooting last month in Mount Rainier.
The suspect, 39-year-old Louis Gregory, is being charged with first- and second-degree murder in the death of 22-year-old Freiyer Yanez-Salas, in addition to assault charges for wounding a man and a woman. He is currently being held without bond.
Police responded to reports of a triple shooting near the 3400 block of Rhode Island Avenue late last month.
Police found Gregory through video surveillance footage of him at a nearby business before the shooting, and showed he matched the descriptions from the witnesses. Police obtained a search warrant on Sept. 30 and apprehended Gregory in his backyard.
