Prince George’s
County Police detectives arrested and charged two suspects in connection with a
non-fatal double shooting early this morning. The suspects are 21-year-old
Montana Artis of the 3900 block of Prickly Street in Waldorf and 19-year-old
Tony Irene Marie Smith of the 3200 block of Jackies Lane in Alexandria.
On March 29th,
at approximately 12:40 am, patrol officers were called to a restaurant in the
100 block of Fleet Street in Oxon Hill. Once on scene, they learned one
employee was suffering from a gunshot wound and another employee was suffering
from a graze wound. Their injuries are not considered
life-threatening. One of the victims is out of the hospital.
The preliminary
investigation reveals Artis and Smith were customers at the restaurant. It’s
believed they got into a dispute with employees over their bill. The two
victims, who were security guards for the restaurant, escorted the suspects out
of the business. At that point, Artis pulled out a gun and fired, wounding one
employee. The second employee was grazed by a bullet. He and Smith then fled
the area. Detectives were able to quickly identify them and arrest them at a
nearby hotel. A gun was recovered in their room.
Artis is charged with
two counts of attempted murder, assault and additional charges. Smith is
charged with disorderly conduct and conspiracy after the fact. They are in
custody of the Department of Corrections.
