TEMPLE HILLS, Md. — A teenager in Prince George's County is now dead after a Temple Hills shooting Sunday.
Police responded to the scene just after 1:30 p.m. for the report of shots fired. On the scene at the 3400 block of Curtis Drive, officers found 17-year-old Ter'Nijah Ryals shot, they said. Although she was taken to the hospital, Ryals later died.
Police tweeted at the time that the teen and shooter likely knew each other. They have since charged an unnamed 17-year-old boy with manslaughter in the shooting. He is being charged as an adult.
The homicide was the second to happen in the county Sunday.
Police responded to a call for a welfare check around 11:30 a.m. Sunday at the 2000 block of Amherst Road, near the "unincorporated" part of Hyattsville.
When officers went inside the residence, they located a 60-year-old woman suffering from trauma to the body. According to police, she was pronounced dead at the location. Her husband was later charged with murder.
Earlier this week, on Thursday, officers responded to the 3200 block of 75th avenue for a welfare check. Upon arrival, they found a man suffering from trauma to the body, according to authorities.
The case is being investigated as a homicide. Detectives are working to establish a motive and suspect in the case. Police said they do not believe this was a random incident, but could not yet elaborate.
