The
Homicide Unit is investigating the circumstances that led to a fatal shooting
in District Heights on Monday. The decedent is 42-year-old Damon Proctor of Fox
Ridge Road in Lexington Park, MD.
On
March 25th, at approximately 1:40 pm, patrol officers were called to
the 5000 block of Daventry Terrace for a double shooting that occurred outside
of a townhome. Officers found Proctor and a second person, an adult female,
suffering from gunshot wounds. Proctor later died from his injuries. The second
victim was shot in her leg and has since been released from the hospital.
The
preliminary investigation reveals Proctor and three people went to the townhome
with the intention of continuing a domestic-related dispute that began earlier
in the day at a separate location. Once at the townhome, there was a
physical confrontation between Proctor and individuals who were at the
townhome. One of the individuals who was at the townhome fired a weapon
during the altercation.
Detectives
identified the man who shot Proctor and the second victim. He voluntarily
responded to our Criminal Investigation Division last night. He was
released pending the outcome of the investigation. Detectives are in the
early stages of this investigation and are continuing to conduct interviews and
examine evidence.
