Three Teenagers Arrested in Gang-Related Homicide

Three suspects were arrested in a gang-related homicide that took place in Prince George’s County, according to the Prince George’s County Police.

Blas Rosales-Cordona, 15, Marco Matute, 16, and Ever Lopez, 16, were arrested in the fatal stabbing of Crossland High School student Salvador Alas, 17, PGPD reports.

All three suspects will be charged with first degree murder as adults.

Police received a call for an injured man at a park in the 8300 block of Woodyard Road in Clinton at 1 p.m. Dec. 3. Officers arrived on the scene and found Alas with wounds to his upper body. He was pronounced dead in the park.

Although there is no evidence connecting Alas with a gang, the PGPD’s preliminary investigation reveals that the three teenagers stabbed him for thinking he was involved with a rival gang.
