Our Homicide Unit arrested a
suspect in connection with a homicide investigation in Landover Hills from
2007. The suspect is 49-year-old Darryl Strickland of the 4600 block of Martin
Luther King Jr. Avenue in Southwest Washington.
On April 6th,
2007, at about 6:00 am, patrol officers were called to a motel in the 3900
