New Maryland Murder Trial Date Set For Radee Prince
The man accused of shooting his co-workers in Edgewood, killing three and injuring two, will go to trial in March 2020, a judge has ordered.
BEL AIR, MD — A new trial date has been set for the man accused of shooting five co-workers in Edgewood, killing three. First, the trial of Radee Labeeb Prince was set for February 2019, then it was delayed until September 2019. A judge on Thursday set March 23, 2020, as the date of Prince's trial to begin.
Twice, his attorneys in Maryland have asked for his mental competency to be evaluated. Both times, he was found competent to stand trial.
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 people 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 about 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 on July 26 ordered 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.
