The Prince George’s County Police Department obtained an arrest warrant and is actively searching for the suspect wanted in connection with Friday’s homicide in Glenn Dale. The suspect is 17-year-old Chet Markland Jarrett Jr. His last known address is the 100 block of B Street in Lothian, MD. He’s charged as an adult with the murder of 17-year-old Jajuan Mcrae of Brookstone Terrace in Glenn Dale.
On August 21, 2015, at about 9:55 pm, patrol officers responded to the 4300 block of Rockport Lane for a welfare check. When they arrived, they found Mcrae outside suffering from gunshot wounds. He died a short time later at a hospital.
Preliminarily, detectives believe the homicide stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the suspect and the victim. On Friday, the two teenagers got into a fight which escalated into the fatal shooting.
Jarrett is charged with first and second degree murder.
