Husband Shot Estranged Wife, Sister Before Killing Himself: Police

The estranged wife of an Oxon Hill man and her sister were shot to death by the husband, who then turned the gun on himself in a double murder-suicide, according to Prince George’s County Police.

Authorities say Leroy Johnson Jr., 45, of Iverson Street in Oxon Hill fatally shot his wife, Angela Lynette Johnson, 43, of Iverson Street in Oxon Hill, and her sister, Zonita Monia Roberts, 42, of Springhill Parkway in Smyrna, GA.

Officers were called to the 1500 block of Addison Road South about 4:40 p.m. Friday for the report of a shooting. At the Johnson house, officers forced their way inside to find the women and Leroy Johnson suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. One of the women was pronounced dead on the scene. The suspect and woman were taken to area hospitals, where they both died a short time later.

Detectives believe the shootings are domestic related. The preliminary investigation suggests Leroy Johnson shot both women before shooting himself.
