The Prince George’s County Police
Department’s Homicide Unit arrested a man in connection with the murder of his
ex-girlfriend. He’s 26-year-old Maurice Wigfall Jr., of the 3300 block of
Springdale Avenue in Forestville. The victim, 21-year-old Latiqua Cherry, was
killed in her Oxon Hill home in May.
On May 17, 2015, at about 5:00 am, neighbors
called 911 to report smoke in an apartment building in the 600 block of Audrey
Lane. Fire crews quickly extinguished flames inside an apartment and discovered
the body of a woman who had suffered burn injuries. The victim was later
identified as Cherry. A medical examiner ruled Cherry died from trauma to the
body prior to the fire being set in her apartment.
Detectives obtained an arrest warrant
Wednesday charging Wigfall with first and second degree murder and arson. He
was already in custody at the Department of Corrections on an unrelated charge.
Anyone with information about this homicide
is asked to call the Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit
at 301-772-4925.
