The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit charged a juvenile suspect in connection with a domestic-related fatal shooting earlier this month.
The suspect is a 17-year-old male from Washington, DC. He’s charged in connection with the murder of 36-year-old Jammi Cooper of Washington, DC. The suspect and victim are family members. The suspect is charged as an adult.
