 At approximately 8:20 am on Sunday, Division IV Oxon Hill officers responded to a stabbing call in the 8300 block of Indian Head Highway. Officers discovered two victims, a man and woman, with critical stab wounds. Before fleeing that scene, the suspect also set fire to the apartment.

At approximately 10:00 am, officers responded to the National Harbor where they encountered the suspect in that earlier stabbing at St George Boulevard & Potomac Passage. The suspect, who lives at the National Harbor, was still armed with a knife and moved toward an officer. Two officers discharged their duty weapons. The suspect was struck. Officers administered emergency care and he was transported to a hospital where he died a short time later. No officers were hurt. The Maryland Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division has assumed the investigation.
