Suspect In Fatal Shooting Of 3 Men In Temple Hills Arrested In VA

TEMPLE HILLS, MD — A suspect in the fatal shooting of three men outside a banquet hall in Temple Hills has been arrested in Virginia.

Prince George's police officers were called to the 4300 block of St. Barnabas Road for a report of a shooting in the parking lot early Saturday morning around 2:10 a.m. They found three men with gunshot wounds. All three victims were pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

Detectives conducted an extensive investigation that included multiple interviews, a review of surveillance video and an analysis of ballistic evidence collected at the scene, the police department stated.

The preliminary investigation suggests the suspect, 39-year-old Antonio Lancaster of Landover, was with 33-year-old Pierre Davis of Washington, D.C., in the parking lot, both of whom were armed with guns. For reasons still being investigated, Lancaster shot at both 27-year-old Ronez Proctor of Waldorf and 26-year-old Kevon Medley Williams of Washington, D.C., who were also outside the banquet hall. Medley Williams and Davis then exchanged gunfire, according to police, hitting and killing each other. After the shooting, Lancaster fled the scene.

Detectives believe the suspect and three victims knew each other. Detectives are working to determine the motive of why Lancaster initiated this shooting.

The PGPD’s fugitive unit worked with the U.S. Marshals Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force were able to locate Lancaster in Fairfax County, Virginia, on Sunday. He was taken into custody and taken to the Fairfax County Police Department. Lancaster remains in Virginia pending extradition to Prince George’s County. He has been charged with first- and second-degree murder in connection to the fatal shooting of Proctor and also shooting at Medley Williams.
