19-Year-Old Arrested In 14-Year-Old Girl's Shooting Death

DISTRICT HEIGHTS, MD — A 19-year-old has been arrested and charged in connection to the murder of a 14-year-old Suitland girl.

On May 31 around 1:50 p.m., officers with the District Heights Police Department and the Prince George’s County Police Department were called to the 6600 block of Atwood Street for a report of a shooting. Khamya Ferrell, 14, and a woman were found inside an apartment with gunshot wounds. A man was found outside outside with injuries. All three were taken to a hospital. Ferrell was pronounced dead June 5 while the two adults survived their injuries.

The preliminary investigation revealed Ferrell was struck by a stray bullet and was not the intended target. Waters and three other suspects had been targeting a group of individuals with whom they had an on-going feud.

Chance Waters, 19, of Hyattsville was identified as one of four suspects wanted in the fatal shooting. He has been charged with first- and second-degree murder, along with related charges. Police continue to search for the other three suspects.

Anyone with information about this case or the identities of the remaining suspects and who would like to speak to a detective can call 301-516-2512.
