Detectives Arrest Suspect in Bowie Homicide


The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit arrested a suspect in connection with Thursday’s homicide in Bowie. The suspect is 22-year-old Robert Anthony Myers of the 14500 block of London Lane in Bowie. The victim is 18-year-old Devante Marcus King of 8th Street in Bowie.

On June 4, 2015, at about 1:15 am, patrol officers with the City of Bowie Police Department were called to the 13000 block of 6th Street for a shooting. When they arrived, they found King suffering from gunshot wounds. He died of his injuries several hours later.

Through the course of the investigation, Myers was developed as a suspect. He and the victim were acquaintances. Preliminarily, it appears the shooting stemmed from a dispute between the two men. Officers arrested Myers at his home late last night. He is charged with first degree murder.
