Two suspects in a January homicide were apprehended in Georgia.

At approximately 8:36 p.m. on Jan. 21, Metropolitan Police Department detectives responded to the 3800 block of Commodore Joshua Barney Drive, NE, for the report of a shooting, according to a press release. There, they found 20-year-old Marquette White suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

On April 28, members of the Atlanta Police Department apprehended 19-year-old Maurice Williams, Jr. and 18-year-old Seaun McDowney, who were wanted on a DC Superior Court arrest warrant for first-degree murder while armed in connection with White’s death.
