Accused Edgewood Shooter Radee Prince In Court In Harford County

BEL AIR, MD — The man charged in the Edgewood workplace shooting that left three dead in 2017 reportedly appeared Monday morning in Harford County Circuit Court. He was scheduled for a motions hearing preceding the murder trial slated to begin Feb. 27.

Radee Labeeb Prince, 39, is accused of shooting five people at Advanced Granite Solutions in Emmorton Business Park, killing three of them. The shootings took place on. Oct. 18, 2017.

His attorney said he had anticipated the doctor evaluating Prince would find him not mentally competent to stand trial, but the doctor reported to him on Friday she thought he was competent, The Aegis reported.

According to the newspaper, Judge Yolanda Curtin requested the report from the doctor by the end of the day on Monday, Jan. 28; otherwise, she would order her to appear in court Tuesday.

The doctor will appear in court Tuesday to deliver her findings about Prince's mental state, WJZ reported.

In Harford County, Prince is charged with the following:

• Three counts of first-degree murder
• Two counts of attempted first-degree murder
• Using a firearm in a felony crime
• Illegal possession of a regulated firearm

Prosecutors are seeking life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to court records, which also show that there was a request to change the venue for the trial.

The case gained national attention as authorities conducted a manhunt across state lines to locate Prince.

At Advanced Granite Solutions in the Emmorton Business Park, Prince is accused of opening fire on his coworkers at 8:58 a.m. on Oct. 18, 2017.

Prince, of the 100 block of Clinton Street in Elkton, reportedly then drove a black SUV from Maryland to Delaware.

At 10:46 a.m., police said he shot someone he knew at a car dealership in Wilmington, Delaware, which led to the charges in that state.

Prince was apprehended in Delaware following a manhunt that lasted hours; he was taken into custody by federal agents and local officers at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 18, 2017, nearly 11 hours after the Edgewood shootings.

Prince was found guilty of attempted manslaughter in May 2018 by a Delaware jury.

A judge sentenced Prince to 40 years in prison in Delaware, where the Elkton man testified at trial that he went to the Wilmington business intending to speak with, not kill, the victim, The News Journal reported.

He shot the man in the face, according to the newspaper, which said jurors were also shown video of Prince gathering his Maryland coworkers in a circle and firing a black handgun at them.
