PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, Md. — Detectives have charged a 20-year-old man with murder in connection to a fatal shooting that occurred earlier this month on Greenbelt Road, authorities announced Thursday.
Jaiden Thomas, of Silver Spring, is accused of fatally shooting 18-year-old Rasheed Davis, of Germantown, during a drug transaction on December 15, 2024.
Officers responded to the 8500 block of Greenbelt Road at approximately 10:50 p.m. that night for a reported shooting. Upon arrival, they discovered Davis and another adult male suffering from gunshot wounds. Both were transported to a nearby hospital, where Davis was later pronounced dead. The second victim remains hospitalized in critical condition.
Police say Thomas and Davis were not previously acquainted, and the shooting stemmed from the alleged drug deal. Thomas is now in custody at the Department of Corrections and faces charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and related offenses.
