A Virginia man stands accused of attempted murder and several other charges after being arrested in connection with a road rage incident in Prince George's County, Maryland. Marco Williams, 46, from Alexandria, was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force and the Maryland State Apprehension Team. This information comes from an official report released by the Maryland State Police.
Williams, who was arrested in Fairfax County, is now facing a series of charges that include attempted first-degree murder, felony assault, firearms offenses, and related crimes. His arrest occurred last Wednesday, and he is awaiting extradition to Maryland. Despite the serious nature of the accusations, the unnamed victim has not been injured.
The Maryland State Police report describes an incident on April 3 whereby troopers were dispatched after reports of a shooting on Route 5, near Burch Hill Road in Prince George’s County. According to the victim, the shooter was driving a black 2023 Ford Explorer with Michigan license plates, a vehicle that was later linked to Williams.
Investigative measures, which included search warrants for Williams' residence and a vehicle he owned, turned up two loaded firearms and a substantial amount of narcotics. The operation was supported by the Fairfax County Police Department and the Virginia State Police, which helped locate these items.
