WHEATON-GLENMONT, Maryland — Police have arrested two men in connection to a deadly shooting of a 19-year-old man in Wheaton Tuesday evening.
According to a release from the Montgomery County Department of Police, the shooting happened in the 1000 block of Good Hope Drive just after 3:30 p.m.
When officers arrived, they found the 19-year-old victim, later identified as Jahiem Rayquan, in the parking lot of a residential area. First responders worked to save Rayquan's life and he was taken to a nearby hospital for help but he has since died from his injuries.
Police were on the lookout for a green Toyota sedan with tape near the front bumper after the deadly shooting.
Just after 3:45 p.m., a 3rd District officer spotted the green Toyota sedan near New Hampshire Avenue and Jackson Road. When the officer attempted to stop the sedan, the driver sped away. The officer pursued the suspects as the green Toyota sedan sped through a red light and eventually crossed the center median, causing damage to one of the tires. Once the car came to a stop, the driver, identified as 19-year-old Jose Angel Calderon Nolasco, was taken into custody. A passenger of the car, identified as 20-year-old Glen Ellis, ran away but was later taken into custody.
Both men have been charged with murder and await a bond hearing.
Officers are still investigating the deadly shooting. Anyone with information should call the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5070 or contact Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).
