Kevin Derr

The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit charged a man in connection with a fatal domestic-related stabbing in Lanham. The suspect is 50-year-old Kevin Derr of Alexandria, VA. He’s charged with the murder of 47-year-old Wendolyn McKoy of Lanham. The suspect and victim were in a prior relationship.

On April 9, 2024, at approximately 11:00 am, officers responded to the 5600 block of Lanteen Street for a reported stabbing. Patrol officers located the victim inside of her home suffering from multiple stab wounds. She was transported to the hospital where she was pronounced dead a short time later.

The preliminary investigation revealed Derr fatally stabbed the victim during an argument. Following the stabbing, he fled the scene.
