2 Silver Spring Teens Charged In Jan. 28 White Oak Homicides: PD

SILVER SPRING, MD — Two 18-year-old men from Silver Spring have been arrested in connection with the Jan. 28 homicides of two men who were found with gunshot wounds inside a car in White Oak, police said.

Dontaye Jamahl Hunt was charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the slaying of Jordan Alexander Radway, 23, of Laurel, and Christian Deon Roberts, 24, of Silver Spring, according to court records. The second suspect, Noah Foster Barnett, was charged with conspiracy to distribute a controlled dangerous substance.

Montgomery County Police believe that Barnett had contacted Radway on Jan. 28 to set up a marijuana deal between Radway and Hunt. They said Hunt and Radway then made contact.

That evening — shortly before 8:30 p.m. — Radway and Roberts met Hunt in the 11500 block of Stewart Lane. Police said witnesses described hearing gun shots and saw a vehicle flee the scene minutes later.

At about 8:37 p.m., a 911 dispatcher received a call about a serious collision that had just occurred. According to police, the caller stated that a vehicle had hit multiple parked cars along Stewart Lane.

Authorities said they arrived on the scene and found Radway and Roberts dead with gunshot wounds inside the vehicle that had struck the parked cars.

On Jan. 29, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore ruled Radway and Roberts' deaths as a homicide.

Detectives arrested Hunt and Barnett on Jan. 30 and Jan. 31, respectively.

Police ask anyone with additional information regarding these deaths to call the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5070.
