The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit is investigating a fatal collision in Hyattsville.  The victims are identified as 38-year-old Jose Cuevas Raudes of 14th Avenue in Hyattsville and 33-year-old Dilcia Gutierrez Vasquez. 

On November 1, 2013, at about 6:00 am, patrol officers were called to the intersection of Riggs Road at Drexel Street for the report of a collision involving two cars.  Cuevas Raudes was pronounced dead on the scene. Vasquez was taken to a local hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

The preliminary investigation reveals Cuevas Raudes was driving a Toyota eastbound on Drexel Street and attempted to turn onto Riggs Road.  An Acura was travelling southbound on Riggs Road.  For reasons which remain unclear, the driver of the Acura lost control and left the roadway.  The Acura then returned to the roadway and crossed into the northbound lane of Riggs Road before striking the Toyota.  Vasquez was a passenger in the Toyota.  The driver of the Acura suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Preliminarily, speed appears to be a factor in the collision.

Rahman Elijah Mills

Updated November 5, 2013:  The suspect wanted in connection with the car theft and the assault on the officer is now in custody in the District.  U.S. Park police officers arrested 20-year-old Rahman Elijah Mills of Iverson Street in Hillcrest Heights last night at MedStar Hospital.  He’s charged with attempted second degree murder, first degree assault, reckless endangerment and other charges.  He’s currently awaiting extradition to Prince George’s County.  

The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating the possible shooting of a car theft suspect in Temple Hills.

On November 4, 2013, at about 6:45 am, patrol officers responded to the 4300 block of 23rd Place for a stolen vehicle.  Upon arrival, patrol officers were met a short distance from the home by an off-duty U.S. Park police officer. 

The preliminary investigation reveals the officer observed a suspect steal a Toyota Corolla from outside the officer’s mother’s home.  The officer then got into his personal vehicle and caught up to the suspect at Lyons and Olson Streets.  He confronted the suspect and ordered him to stop.  The officer identified himself as a police officer and ordered the suspect out of the car.  The suspect revved the engine and began driving towards the officer.  The officer fired several shots into the car as the suspect drove towards him.  The suspect then drove off.

The stolen Toyota was found abandoned a short time later in Hillcrest Heights.  At this time it is not clear if the suspect was struck by gunfire.  There is a person of interest in this case.  No one is currently in custody.  No charges have been filed.  The off-duty officer was not hurt.  Additional questions about the officer should be directed to U.S. Park Police.

Anyone with additional information about this case is asked to call the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division at (301) 772-4925.  Callers wishing to remain anonymous may call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477), text “PGPD plus your message” to CRIMES (274637) on your cell phone or go to: www.pgcrimesolvers.com to submit a tip online.

PGPD Warns Community About Phony Utility Workers

The Prince George’s County Police Department wants to alert our community about two suspects who posed as contractors in Clinton. The suspects are using the phony identities in order to steal from their victims.  Detectives are currently investigating two separate incidents.  
Detectives believe the same suspects are involved in both cases.

On November 6, 2013, the suspects targeted a home in the 5800 block of Kirby Road. They told the victim they were in the area conducting survey work.  When the victim walked to the back of the house with one suspect, the second suspect walked into the front door and stole a safe.  The victim was not hurt.

On October 30, 2013, at about 3:30 pm, two suspects wearing white hard hats targeted a home in the 6500 block of Horseshoe Road.  The suspects told the victim they worked for a water company and were there to check on a gas leak in the victim’s home.  When one suspect walked into a bathroom with the victim, the second suspect stole cash and a safe.  The victim was not hurt.  In this case, the suspects were driving a dark-colored sedan.

The PGPD wants our community to be aware of this situation and to contact us with any information on this case. Please also keep these safety tips in mind. Most utility workers do not need access to a customer’s home. Utility workers are required to wear uniforms and drive vehicles that are clearly marked.  They are also required to wear their work badges where it’s visible to customers. The worker should also be able to provide his or her supervisor’s name and contact information.  If for any reason you are still unsure of the individual’s identity, please call the utility company for confirmation as well as the police.

Anyone with information on these cases is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477) or the Regional Investigation Division - South at 301-856-3130. Whenever information is given to the Prince George’s County Crime Solvers Line, you do not have to leave your name.  A CASH REWARD OF UP TO $1000 is being offered for the tip that leads to the arrest and indictment of the suspect(s).

For more information, please contact the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Media Relations Division at 301-772-4710.
