Prince George’s County Police Department Homicide Unit detectives obtained an arrest warrant for the suspect wanted in connection with a fatal shooting inside of a College Park apartment on Sunday. The suspect, 21-year-old Davie Serpas of the 9500 block of 48th Place in College Park, was taken into custody early this morning in Washington DC. He’s accused of fatally shooting 24-year-old Rogelio Sierra-Duran of Hewitt Avenue in Silver Spring.
On September 24th, at about 5:25 am, patrol officers were called to the 9300 block of Cherry Hill Road for a shooting. One of the victims, Sierra-Duran, was pronounced dead at the hospital. Preliminarily, the second victim’s injuries are not considered life-threatening.
The preliminary investigation reveals the suspect and the victims got into an argument while attending a party at the apartment. That argument escalated into the shootings.
Serpas is charged with first and second-degree murder. He’s in custody in the District awaiting extradition to Prince George’s County.
