OXON HILL, MD — The suspect wanted in the 2024 fatal shooting at a parking garage near MGM National Harbor Hotel and Casino has been found two years later.

On May 11, 2024 around 4:50 a.m., Prince George's police officers were called to a parking garage located in the 100 block of MGM National Avenue after MGM Special Police and Security reported a shooting.
