Two men were arrested in connection with the death of a man on Friday in Fort Washington, according to police.
Prince George’s County investigators said Rashawd Wiggins, 19, of Washington, and Derron Alexander, 18, of Oxon Hill, were arrested Saturday and charged with first-degree murder. Police said the men were responsible for the shooting death of Domanic Jamal Nelson, 22.
Nelson was found in the 1000 block of Palmer Road early Friday morning suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators said the suspects attempted to rob the victim and gunshots were exchanged. In addition to Nelson’s wounds, Wiggins was also injured. He later sought medical treatment and is currently in intensive care in a hospital.
