Man Says He Shot Uber Driver, Passenger While High On PCP: PGPD

OXON HILL, MD — A man is under arrest in connection with the fatal shooting of an Uber driver and a passenger in Oxon Hill on Tuesday, and police say he confessed to being high on drugs at the time.

Police were called to the area of Indian Head Highway and Bald Eagle Road for the report of a shooting, and found two victims inside of a car stopped on the roadway, according to a report from the Prince George's County Police Department.

Police identified the victims -- both pronounced dead at the scene -- as 46-year-old Beaudouin Tchakounte of Frederick and 32-year-old Casey Xavier Robinson of Accokeek, the report states. Police believe Tchakounte was working as an Uber driver at the time of the shooting, and Robinson was the passenger.

Police have arrested 42-year-old Aaron Lanier Wilson, Jr. of Fort Washington on charges of first and second degree murder.

"The preliminary investigation reveals Tchakounte picked up Robinson and later picked up Wilson as part of a ride-share option offered through Uber," the report states. "They were picked up at separate locations. Through various investigative techniques, detectives quickly identified Wilson as the suspect.

"He was arrested at his home early this morning," it continues. "He confessed to being picked up and being inside the vehicle. He also told detectives that he was high on PCP. At this point in the investigation, there are no known connections between the victims and Wilson."
