The Prince George’s County Police Department is investigating a shooting on Saturday in Glenn Dale. Detectives have charged a teenager with possession of a loaded firearm. He’s a 17-year-old male from Mount Rainier.

On August 5, 2023, at approximately 12:30 pm, PGPD officers responded to the 9900 block of Marguerita Avenue for a reported shooting. The 17-year-old suspect had been shot in the incident and was transported to a hospital where he is currently in critical but stable condition.

The preliminary investigation revealed that an adult male located a car on Marguerita Avenue that had been stolen from his family member sometime between Friday evening and Saturday morning. That theft was reported to the Prince George’s County Police Department. The stolen car had three occupants inside including the suspect who exited the vehicle.
