Two men have been arrested and charged in the shooting death of a 41-year-old Bladensburg man at a tire shop, according to police in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Authorities said Ronnell Hardy, 43, of Capitol Heights, and Avery Eccles, 42, of Upper Marlboro, have been charged in connection with the killing of 41-year-old Anthony Okoye in September, from police.
Hardy and Eccles are being charged with first- and second-degree murder, as well as other related charges.
Officers were sent to the 1200 block of Marblewood Ave. to perform a welfare check around 6:30 a.m. on Sept. 14, according to police. That’s when they found Okoye, who had been shot.
He was taken to a hospital and died a short time later.
Okoye “was the kind of guy who doesn鈥檛 have any problem at all,鈥� according to co-worker Hugo Amadi, as 海角社区app’s John Domen reported last month.
鈥淭he guy was one of the best colleagues I have,鈥� Amadi said.
鈥淓verybody was like, 鈥楳y man, my man, that鈥檚 my man, that鈥檚 my man,’鈥� he added about Okoye鈥檚 relationship with customers.
Police are asking anyone with information that could help the investigation to call 301-516-2512 to speak with a homicide detective.
