The Homicide Unit
arrested the suspect wanted for the fatal shooting of 51-year-old Jan Cotto
earlier this month in Capitol Heights. The suspect is 30-year-old Christopher
Carl Green of no fixed address. Cotto was killed as she walked near her home.
Detectives believe she may have been walking to a Metro station to head to
work. The victim and suspect were acquaintances.
On
April 6th, at about 11:00 pm, patrol officers responded to the 200
block of Zelma Avenue for the report of a shooting. When they arrived, the
officers found the victim outside suffering from gunshot wounds. She died a
short time later at a hospital.
Preliminarily, detectives believe the
shooting stemmed from a robbery attempt. Green is charged with first and second
degree murder and related charges. He is in the custody of the Department of
Corrections on a no-bond status.
