Maryland Murder Trial Delayed For Radee Prince

BEL AIR, MD — The trial for the man accused of shooting five co-workers in Edgewood, killing three, has been postponed. First, the trial was set for February, then it was delayed until September.

Twice, his attorneys in Maryland have asked for his mental competency to be evaluated. Both times, he was found competent to stand trial.

Radee Labeeb Prince, 39, of the 100 block of Clinton Street in Elkton, was indicted by a Harford County grand jury on three counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two weapons offenses (using a firearm in a felony crime and illegal use of a regulated firearm).

The charges stem from the shooting at Advanced Granite Solutions in Emmorton Business Park. Three died and two were critically injured when Prince opened fire at the countertop business where he worked Oct. 18, 2017, officials said. 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 other victims were also shot and survived: Enoc Villegas Sosa, of North East, and Jose Roberto Flores Gillen, of Edgewood.

Prince was apprehended approximately 10 hours later after shooting and injuring a sixth person in Wilmington, Delaware.

A Delaware jury found Prince found guilty of attempted manslaughter in May 2018, and he was sentenced to 40 years in prison. He was tried in Delaware, despite facing three murder charges in Maryland, because there was a possibility he could have been sentenced to life without parole.

The judge presiding over the case in Harford County Circuit Court ordered July 26 for the trial to be delayed after Prince's attorneys requested a postponement.

Because it is "such a complex case, we need more time to review records," his defense attorney, John Janowich, told The Aegis.

A new date has not yet been set for the murder trial.
