Deandre Weems
Rinaldo Savon Washington
Kimfrey Williams
One week after 27 year old Jesse Chavez was fatally shot
during a robbery at an Oxon Hill hotel, three suspects are now in custody and
charged with the murder.
The suspects, all from Southeast Washington, are identified
as 20-year-old Deandre Weems, of the 4200 block of 6th Street, 18-year-old Rinaldo Savon
Washington, of the 1100 block of Barnaby Terrace and 23-year-old Kimfrey
Williams, of the 5300 block of C Street.
Court documents state on October 21, 2013, at about 10:00
pm, Weems walked into an Oxon Hill hotel, pulled out a gun and demanded cash
from an employee. The employee complied. Moments later, Chavez
approached Weems, the two struggled and Weems shot Chavez. Weems then ran
to a car and fled in a dark-colored Toyota Camry. Investigators believe
Williams drove the car, and Washington acted as a lookout during the robbery.
The Prince George’s County Police Department quickly posted
surveillance video and photos on our social media sites and asked for the
public’s help in identifying the shooter. Our community and media outlets
pitched in, spreading the word online and on air. A tipster who saw that video
then contacted Crime Solvers and anonymously provided the information
detectives needed to close the case. Using the tipster’s information,
detectives were able to identify Weems as the shooter. Investigative
developments then led to the identification of Washington and Williams.
That person is now eligible for up to $25,000 in reward money.
Detectives recovered the handgun used in the murder during a
search of Weems’ home. The torched getaway car, which was stolen, was
also recovered in Washington, D.C. on October 24, 2013.
All of the suspects are in custody. Williams and
Washington are in Prince George's County. Weems remains in custody in the
District of Columbia, awaiting extradition. The investigation is
ongoing. These suspects are believed to be responsible for additional
robberies in Prince George’s County and Washington, D.C.
