Homicide Unit detectives are asking for the community’s assistance in identifying two homicide suspects. The suspects were captured on surveillance video as one of them pulled out a gun and began shooting at two victims.  One of the victims was killed, the other was wounded.  This took place Sunday evening in Oxon Hill.

On May 20^th, at approximately 7:25 pm, patrol officers responded to the 5600 block of Saint Barnabas Road for the report of a shooting. Officers discovered 28-year-old Rodney Snowden of Greenbelt suffering from gunshot wounds. He died later at a hospital. The second victim was taken to the hospital for treatment.

On the surveillance video, the two suspects are seen walking into the parking lot toward the two victims. The victims attempt to run away from the suspects when one of the suspects pulls out a gun and starts firing.  “One of the suspects is wearing a distinctive shirt.  Perhaps a resident saw someone wearing that shirt on Sunday.  Or maybe someone recognizes how one of the suspects walks.  Any piece of information is welcome.  We are actively working to arrest these suspects who carried out this brazen crime,” said Captain Rob Harvin of the Criminal Investigation Division.

A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and indictment.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Homicide Unit at 301-772-4925.

Joshua Wright       Donald Jackson      William Wright

Prince George’s County Police detectives charged three men in connection with the sexual abuse of four female victims.  The crimes occurred between 2001 and 2008 when the victims were between the ages of 15 and 18 and were enrolled in a program run by the Oxon Hill Assembly of Jesus Christ in Fort Washington.  

The program was called CHOP – Children Having Overcoming Power - and was designed to provide living accommodations in the homes of church members and education classes at the church for at-risk youth.

The suspects include 67-year-old Joshua William Wright of the 8200 block of Lykema Court in Brandywine. He is the Head Pastor of the Oxon Hill Assembly of Jesus Christ. The remaining two suspects are 40-year-old Donald Jackson of the 10000 block of Stewards Chance Lane in White Plains and 46-year-old William Joshua Wright of the 3900 block of Hedgemeade Court in White Plains.  William Wright is Joshua Wright’s son and was a minister at the church.  Donald Jackson is Joshua Wright’s son-in-law and was a leading member at the church.

 

The sexual acts in this case involved individual interactions and occurred at various locations including the suspects’ homes, various parks, and the church.  The suspects have all been charged with child abuse and varying sex offenses. 

The victims in this case came forward as adults to report the abuse they suffered when they were teenagers while in the care and custody of these men.   

Detectives are encouraging any others who encountered any type of abuse when they were enrolled in the CHOP program to please come forward.  The CHOP program ended in 2011.

Lamar Rudolph Samuel

A man who grabbed, choked and robbed an eight-year-old girl as she walked to school Monday morning was taken into custody moments after the assault. Two Prince George’s County Police officers driving separately into work on Monday morning each heard the radio call for a suspicious man outside of a school and the school was on lockdown. Both officers redirected their cars and raced in direction of the school.  First on scene, they quickly located the suspect who was standing outside of the school where he had just urinated on the building. The officers approached him and placed him in handcuffs. The suspect is 34-year-old Lamar Samuel of Southeast Washington. 

On June 4^th, at approximately 7:50 am, the victim was walking to school in the 4900 block of Annapolis Road. The investigation reveals Samuel approached the girl, choked her and then grabbed her cell phone. He then carried the victim in a chokehold across the street where he was confronted by school staff. The suspect let go of the girl and staff members got her to safety. The school was immediately placed on lockdown. Thankfully, the victim’s injuries were not serious.

Through the course of their investigation, our detectives later learned that twenty minutes before this attack, Samuel matched the description of a man who groped a woman on a Metrobus in Bladensburg.  Metro Transit Police detectives had shared surveillance photos of the unknown suspect with the public and local law enforcement in their effort to identify and locate him.   When Samuel was positively identified, MTPD detectives obtained an arrest warrant and Samuel was served on Thursday.

Prince George’s County Police Chief Hank Stawinski and Metro Transit Police Chief Ron Pavlik both thanked the quick-acting officers and diligent detectives for their collaborative efforts in getting a dangerous person off of the streets so quickly. 

In connection with the assault on the young girl, Samuel is charged with attempted first degree murder, second degree assault, indecent exposure and robbery among other charges. He’s in custody of the Prince George’s County Department of Corrections on a no-bond status.

For information about charges in the bus assault, please contact Metro Transit Police.  

 Anyone with information on the PGPD investigation or this suspect is asked to call 301-699-2601.

The Prince George’s County Police Department is excited to announce that our Chief Hank Stawinski has been selected to participate in the 2018 Joint Civilian Orientation Conference(JCOC 88) hosted by the Secretary of Defense.  The JCOC program is the oldest and most prestigious public liaison program in the Department of Defense

        As a JCOC participant, Chief Stawinski will spend several intense days from June 10-16, 2018 at undisclosed military installations, engaging with senior military officials and U.S. Service members.  In addition to participating in tactical training exercises, he will gain a better understanding of the roles and mission of the U.S. Armed Forces; their skills, capabilities and equipment employed in defense of our nation.

       The JCOC program is directly linked to the Department of Defense’s new initiative, This Is Your Military.  The goal of this initiative is to educate and accurately inform the American public on the military's relevance, innovativeness and how it is a force for good.  It also seeks to introduce the American public to those who currently serve, and dispel common misperceptions about the military.

     Chief Stawinski said, “I have always been very proud of those who choose to serve our nation in both foreign and domestic endeavors. I was thrilled to be nominated by Brigadier General Select E. John Teichert III, Commander of Joint Base Andrews.  Joint Base Andrews is, of course, home of Air Force One and located here in Prince George’s County.  This is a long-standing program that seeks to create and foster understanding between military and the civilians whom they protect.  I look forward to discussing my experiences upon my return and am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve as an ambassador in this capacity.” 

The objective of the JCOC public liaison program is to help bridge the growing military-civilian divide by:

• Educating and informing participants about the strength and readiness of the U.S. Armed Forces through personal observation of Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard operations.

• Providing a better understanding of the rewards of military service.

• Providing the American public opportunities to obtain a better understanding of national defense policies and programs through the eyes of opinion leaders who have spent time with their military.
