On
December 21, 2013, at about 12:05 am, patrol officers were called to the 11800
block of North Marlton Avenue in Upper Marlboro for the sound of gunshots.
When they arrived on scene, the patrol officers discovered that a home on
North Marlton had been the site of a large house party. Hundreds of
partygoers were out in the street.
The
preliminary investigation reveals that roughly one hour later, as the patrol
officers were controlling the scene of the party, a homeowner in the 11700
block of North Marlton called 911 to report a suspicious person sitting on the
front stoop. Patrol officers found Pinkney on the front steps of the
home. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Detectives
are working to identify a suspect(s) and motive in the case.
A
patrol officer who was controlling the scene of the house party was assaulted
by a 17-year-old suspect. As the officer tried to arrest her, the suspect
pushed into the officer, breaking his leg and twisting his ankle. The
suspect is facing assault charges.
