The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit charged two suspects in connection with a fatal shooting on Sunday inside of a laundromat in the town of Edmonston. The suspects are 20-year-old Alex Delgado of Silver Spring and a 17-year-old male from New Carrollton. They are both charged as adults with the murder of 18-year-old Anibal Suazo of Lothian, MD.
