Murder Suspect Nabbed on Metrobus: Police

Temple Hills, MD — A school resource officer spotted a suspect wanted for murder and trailed him to a Metrobus before he was taken into custody, officials say.

The Prince George's County Police officer spotted Jamual Toye, 21, of Silver Hill Court in Forestville, as he was walking toward a shopping center about 8 a.m. Tuesday in the 7000 block of Allentown Road. An arrest warrant had been issued for Toye in the May 16 fatal shooting of Timothy Turner, 24, on Allentown Road.  

The school resource officer, Corporal Myron Young, was in his cruiser when he first saw Toye. He called for backup officers while watching the suspect. Moments later, Toye boarded a Metrobus, which Young and other officers followed before pulling it over. When Young and another officer boarded the bus, police say Toye threw a drink at Young and jumped off the bus. Toye reportedly tossed a gun before being taken into custody by another officer in the 3400 block of Brinkley Road.

Toye is charged with first- and second-degree murder in the shooting, which police say appears to be a drug-related robbery. He’s in custody of the Department of Corrections on a no-bond status.
