A man has been cuffed for a deadly stick-up at a Northwest business, with the fuzz on the hunt for an accomplice. The fatal encounter unfolded on March 27, when two gun-toting goons barged into a shop on the 5100 block of Georgia Avenue, demanding dough and valuables, with the victims promptly complying, according to the Metropolitan Police Department's Homicide Branch.

Amid the heist, one robber pulled the trigger, consequently hitting a victim who then succumbed to his injuries after being transported to a local care facility. The victim has been identified as Philip Prendergast, 41, from Silver Spring, MD. The bandits then made off with the loot, leaving behind a scene soon rife with law enforcement and sorrow.

In a turn of events, 21-year-old Trenton Collins of Northwest, DC had his freedom curtailed this Monday, as the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force swooped in under a DC Superior Court arrest warrant. Swept to the Homicide Branch, he faces charges of First Degree Murder while Armed-Felony Murder.

The police dragnet continues to expand, zealously seeking to apprehend the remaining suspect whose identity remains as fleeting as smoke. The community, now to cautiously navigate the murky waters of fear and uncertainty, waits for closure. The full report can be found on the Metropolitan Police Department official website.
