Arrest Made in November 2008 Homicide

(WUSA) -- Detectives from the Montgomery County Police Major Crimes Division - Homicide/Sex Section arrested Tracy Bailey in the murder of Davonn Dupree.

Dupree's body was discovered November 18, 2008, at approximately 1:30 a.m. under a stairwell in an apartment building located in the 13900 block of Castle Boulevard in the Briggs Chaney community of Silver Spring.

In late November through the course of the investigation, Tracy Bailey was developed as a suspect and a warrant was obtained for him. Despite a lengthy search, detectives were unable to locate him. Today, he called and turned himself in to detectives at police headquarters. He was charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond at the Montgomery County Detention Center.

When Ms. Dupree's body was first discovered it was unknown where and how she was killed. The autopsy results attributed the cause of death to multiple injuries. The manner of death was determined to be homicide. As the investigation continued it was learned that Ms. Dupree was killed in Bailey's apartment and then placed by him under the stairwell in an apartment building in the 13900 block of Castle Boulevard. The two were known to one another, and the motive for the murder was Bailey's fear that Dupree would call police after he had struck her.
