Suitland, MD — A 32-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a deadly shooting that occurred earlier this month in Suitland, according to the Prince George’s County Police Department.
Investigators identified the suspect as Joshua Dawson of Suitland. He is accused of killing 32-year-old Brandon Foulks, also of Suitland.
Police said that on January 18 at around 11:20 a.m., officers responded to the 3900 block of Suitland Road for a report of a shooting. When they arrived, they found Foulks outside suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
