Fight Over A Woman Led To Fatal Shooting In Adelphi: Police

ADELPHI, MD — Police have made an arrest in the recent brutal slaying of a teenager in Adelphi.

Rolando Juarez-Vasquez, 22, of Langley Park has been charged with fatally shooting 19-year-old William Canales about a week ago, according to a report from the Prince George's County Police Department.

Police were called to the 1800 block of Fox Street on June 1 at around 6:40 p.m. to a report of a shooting, and found Canales outside suffering from a gunshot wound. He died later at the hospital.
