DRUG TURF WAR RESULTS IN TEMPLE HILLS SHOOTING

An alleged fight over drug turf has left a Temple Hills man dead and
resulted in a murder conviction for his assailant.

Lamont Michael Brown, 33, of the District was convicted of first
degree murder and use of a handgun in the commission of a felony in
the death of Andre D. Williams, 29, of Temple Hills on Monday in a
Prince George's County Court.

The shooting took place on Jan. 29 as the result of a dispute over
drug territory, according to Prince George's County Police. At
approximately 2:30 a.m., Brown and Williams were arguing over drug
territory, during which time Brown told Williams not to sell drugs in
the area of the 3100 block of Good Hope Avenue in Temple Hills.

Brown then pulled out a gun and shot Williams eight times in the left
side of his chest and the back of his legs.

Prince George's County Police pronounced Williams dead on the scene.
Brown escaped from a fourth floor window and eluded police for eight
days, before being caught in Milwaukee. Brown faces life in prison
without parole and is scheduled to be sentenced on March 5.
