Lester Lee Fletcher, Jr.
The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating a
domestic-related murder/suicide in Fort Washington. The suspect is
identified as 32-year-old Lester Lee Fletcher, Jr., of the 8300 block of
Founders Woods Way in Fort Washington. The victim is identified as
32-year-old Michelle Miranda-Fletcher, of the 7200 block of Jaywick Avenue.
Patrol officers were called to the 7200 block of Jaywick Avenue in
Fort Washington just after midnight on April 9, 2014, for a shooting.
When they arrived, they found a woman and man in the parking lot of an
apartment complex, both suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. They were
pronounced dead on the scene.
Detectives believe the woman was returning home after celebrating
her birthday. She turned 32 yesterday. The preliminary
investigation suggests the gunman, the woman’s ex-husband, was waiting for her
when she arrived. The suspect drove up to the woman’s car and began to
threaten her. Witnesses reported hearing the man arguing with the
woman and then saw him shoot her multiple times. The gunman then turned
the weapon on himself.
Forensic investigators recovered the weapon on the scene.
Detectives have learned the suspect and victim were recently divorced.
