Suspect in Maryland Crime Spree Identified by Police
The individual responsible for a series of violent crimes in Prince George’s County, Maryland, has been identified by the local police department. Daeyon Ross, a 22-year-old from Washington, D.C., has been charged with murder in connection to the death of 56-year-old Kurt Modeste from La Plata, Maryland.
According to authorities, the incident began with a carjacking at Addison Road South and Rolling Ridge Drive in Capitol Heights around 12:10 p.m. Ross allegedly used a gun to steal a Honda CRV and was later involved in a crash shortly after.
After fleeing the crash site, Ross proceeded to a fast-food restaurant on Ritchie Road, where he attempted to carjack an Acura ILX in the drive-thru lane. During this altercation, Ross shot Modeste, the driver of the Acura, multiple times. Modeste managed to escape but succumbed to his injuries later.
Subsequently, Ross targeted a Toyota Scion also in the drive-thru lane, which had three dogs inside. Tragically, Ross fatally shot two of the dogs before driving off west on Central Avenue in the stolen vehicle, leading multiple law enforcement agencies on a pursuit into Washington, D.C.
Upon reaching the intersection of 52nd Street and Sheriff Road, Ross abandoned the Toyota, carjacked a GMC Terrain, and crashed shortly after. A confrontation ensued with an officer from the Capitol Heights Police Department, resulting in a gunfight without any injuries.
Following his apprehension, Ross was found in possession of a loaded firearm and faced charges including first- and second-degree murder, armed carjacking, assault, firearms offenses, and aggravated cruelty to animals. While Prince George’s County has filed charges, Ross remains in custody in Washington, D.C., awaiting extradition.
