TEMPLE HILLS, MD – A woman has been charged with murder following the death of an 18-year-old man who was shot at a party in Temple Hills last month and succumbed to his injuries earlier this week, Prince George’s County Police announced Thursday.
The suspect, 20-year-old Keyri Escalante of Fort Washington, was initially charged with attempted murder after 18-year-old Darlyn Florian-Granados of Alexandria, VA, was shot in the early morning hours of Friday, June 13, in the 5400 block of Broadwater Street.
