A tragic milestone has been reached in Prince George's County. Police there say a man has died from multiple gunshot wounds in the 6400 block of Riverdale Road, making the victim the 155th person to be murdered in the county this year. The previous record of 154 was set back in 1991 and was equaled earlier this month when a 26-year-old man was shot to death in Oxon Hill. Acting Major Kevin Davis says the man was found just after 8:15 Monday night and was pronounced dead after being taken to a local hospital. The age and identity of the victim have not yet been released.
