Advanced Granite Solutions Shooting Trial: Competency In Question

BEL AIR, MD — The man accused of killing three people and injuring two others at his workplace in Edgewood in 2017 is slated to stand trial March 23 in Harford County.

Radee Labeeb Prince, 40, of Elkton reportedly seeks to be held not criminally responsible. His attorneys are waiting for a complete report from a psychological expert who preliminarily said that he had "symptoms of mental illness" such as delusions, paranoia and post-traumatic stress disorder, according to The Aegis.

Court records show Prince was found competent to stand trial April 29, 2019, and July 18, 2019.

A judge gave the attorneys for Prince until Feb. 28 for their expert to submit the full psychological evaluation so prosecutors have time to review it before the trial, The Aegis reported Friday.

Judge Yolanda Curtin said there was "no satisfactory explanation" for why the report has not yet been submitted, according to WBAL, and told attorneys she would not delay the trial.

The next pre-trial conference is set for Friday, March 20.

A Harford County grand jury indicted Prince in January 2018 on these charges:

• First-degree murder (three counts)
• Attempted first-degree murder (two counts)
• Two weapons offenses (using a firearm in a felony, illegal use of a regulated firearm)

The charges stem from the shooting at Advanced Granite Solutions in Emmorton Business Park that occurred Oct. 18, 2017.

Officials said three died and two were critically injured when Prince opened fire at the countertop business where he worked before 9 a.m. that day.

Those killed were identified as Bayarsaikhan Tudev, 53, of Arlington, Virginia; Jose "Oscar" Hidalgo Romero, 34, of Aberdeen; and Enis Mrvoljak, 48, of Dundalk. Two victims who shot and survived were identified as Enoc Villegas Sosa of North East and Jose Roberto Flores Gillen of Edgewood.

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, after shooting and injuring a sixth person in Wilmington, Delaware.

He was tried in Delaware first, despite facing three murder charges in Maryland, because there was a possibility he could have been sentenced there to life without parole.

A Delaware jury found Prince found guilty of attempted manslaughter in May 2018, and he was sentenced to 40 years in prison.

Harford County prosecutors have indicated they are seeking life without parole in the case.
