Man Who Shot Driver From Back Seat Sentenced To Prison

LANDOVER, MD — Raymond C. Terry III, 19, has been sentenced in the shooting death of 26-year-old Vincent Fisher III.

In February, Terry shot Fisher from the backseat of Fisher’s car in Landover. Another person was in the vehicle at the time of the shooting, but wasn't injured, according to police.

Terry pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence. He has been sentenced to 50 years in prison.

“This case is especially heartbreaking because the victim saw potential in the defendant and tried to guide him toward a better path,” said Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Tara Jackson. “Instead, that trust and mentorship were met with unimaginable violence. Today’s sentence reflects the gravity of this betrayal and the devastating loss suffered by Mr. Fisher’s family and our community. We are grateful to the prosecutors and law enforcement professionals who worked tirelessly on this case. My office remains committed to seeking justice for those whose lives are taken by senseless acts of violence.”
