The Prince George's County Police Department's Special Investigation Response Team (SIRT) is investigating the circumstances of an officer-involved shooting on Friday night on Walker Mill Road. The officer's weapon was discharged while the officer was in a struggle over his handgun with a suspect.

At about 11:20 pm, an officer on patrol near Brooks Drive and Marlboro Pike heard a car crash and went to investigate. He saw the suspect running from the crash scene. The officer followed the suspect in his cruiser. One block away, at Walker Mill Road, the officer caught up with the suspect. Preliminarily, the investigation reveals there was a struggle over the officer's gun. The suspect was shot during the struggle.

Despite being shot, the suspect continued to fight with the officer. A second officer arrived on the scene and deployed his Taser. A third officer then arrived and was finally able to restrain the suspect. The suspect was then taken to the hospital in critical condition. Tests will be conducted to determine if the suspect may have been under the influence of an illegal substance.

None of our officers was hurt. The involved patrol officer is a two-year veteran of the Prince George’s County Police Department.  He is on routine administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call SIRT investigators at 301-856-2660.

Let us pause to remember our fallen hero, Police Officer First Class Adrian A. Morris, lost this day in 2012.
 
Police Officer First Class Morris was born on April 11, 1989, in Kingston, Jamaica. He was raised in Laurel and became a U.S. citizen in 2009. He entered the police academy on January 19, 2010, after serving for five years as a Prince George’s County Police Explorer. He graduated on September 20, 2010, was briefly assigned to District I, and then transferred to Squad 29 in District VI.
 
On August 20, 2012, patrol officers were dispatched to a gas station at 6600 Sandy Spring Road in Laurel for an attempted theft from an automobile. Two suspects unsuccessfully tried to open the doors of a customer’s car before fleeing from the gas station. As officers were on the scene interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence, a gas station employee noticed the suspect vehicle returning to the gas station. The on-scene police officers were alerted, and POFC Morris returned to his police car and drove after the suspect vehicle. While following the suspect vehicle on I-95, he swerved to avoid striking a civilian vehicle. His patrol car left the roadway and struck a guardrail. POFC Morris suffered critical injuries and was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.
 
Police Officer First Class Morris served the Prince George’s County Police Department for 2 1/2 years and was the 27th member of this agency to make the ultimate sacrifice. He was the 52nd law enforcement officer to give his life in service to this profession within Prince George’s County.
 
At the time of his death, Police Officer First Class Adrian A. Morris was 23 years old and survived by his mother and eight-year-old brother.

The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit arrested a suspect in connection with the homicide of a one-year-old boy. The suspect is 28-year-old Osman Sesay of the 6800 block of Riverdale Road in Riverdale. The victim is one-year old Ahmed Jalloh also of Riverdale Road. 

On August 1, 2015, at about 10:30 am, patrol officers were called to the 6800 block of Riverdale Road for the report of an unresponsive child. Jalloh was pronounced dead at a hospital.

The preliminary investigation reveals the victim's mother left the child in the suspect's care that morning when she went to work. The suspect and mother were in a romantic relationship. A few hours later, the suspect reported he found the child unresponsive. An autopsy revealed the cause of death as multiple blunt force injuries. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Washington DC ruled this a homicide.

Investigators arrested Sesay on August 26, 2015. He is charged with first degree murder and first degree child abuse. Sesay is currently in the custody of the Department of Corrections.  He is being held on a no bond status.
