COLLEGE PARK, MD — A man has been arrested in a shooting that left one Silver Spring man dead and another man injured during a party in a College Park apartment complex this weekend.

Davie Serpas, 21, of College Park was arrested in D.C. Monday and charged with first- and second-degree murder. The decedent was identified as Rogelio Sierra-Duran, 24, of Silver Spring.
