RIVERDALE, MD — Detectives are searching for the suspect they believe was involved in the fatal shooting of a New Carrollton man. A reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment in the case.
On April 11 at approximately 10:05 a.m., Prince George's police officers were called to the 6600 block of Riverdale Road for a report of an unresponsive person. Officers found 58-year-old Adeyemi Martin of New Carrollton inside a stairwell with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A video released by the police department shows the suspect's dark-colored car outside of the building leaving the murder scene.
