Shawn Josef Turner
The
Prince George’s County Police Department arrested a suspect in
connection with a murder in Oxon Hill. The suspect is identified as
45-year-old Shawn Josef Turner, of the 1600 block of 18th Street in Southeast
Washington.
On
August 21, 2013 at about 1:30 am, patrol officers were called to the 4500
block of Wheeler Road for a fight. Upon their arrival, patrol
officers found an unresponsive man inside the residence. The victim is
identified as 52-year-old Derrick Ricardo Espeut, of the 4500 block of Wheeler
Road in Oxon Hill. He was pronounced dead on the scene.
The
preliminary investigation suggests Turner and Espeut began to argue
while attending a party. The argument became physical as the two men exited
the apartment. Detectives believe Turner punched Espeut. The victim then struck his head and fell to
the ground. Turner was arrested a short time later by PGPD and
MPDC patrol officers in the District of Columbia. A warrant has been
obtained for Turner, who remains in custody in the District of Columbia. He is awaiting extradition to Prince George’s
County, where he faces charges of manslaughter and first degree assault.
