Man arrested in deadly Landover shooting after argument turns fatal

Landover, MD – A 43-year-old man has been arrested and charged with murder after a woman was shot and killed in Landover earlier this month following an argument that turned deadly.

John Michael Brand, of White Plains, MD, is accused of fatally shooting 60-year-old Constance Miller in the 3100 block of 75th Avenue around 11:35 p.m. on January 8.
