Four suspects have been taken into custody by the Maryland State Police, all held without bond, in connection with a triple homicide and house fire in Washington County that occurred last Tuesday. The accused are Darnell Hawkins, 47, of Baltimore; Tony Smith, 43, of Hagerstown; Maurice Mouzon, 46, of Baltimore; and Kierra White, 35, of Glen Burnie, with additional arrests expected as the investigation continues, according to the Maryland State Police.
Hawkins and Smith face charges including three counts of first-degree murder and first-degree arson, Mouzon is charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery and narcotics distribution, and White with accessory after the fact to murder. The victims—Brittany Ray, 31, Harold Flichman, 36, and Brianna Mae Weishaar, 25, all from Clear Spring—were pronounced dead at the scene, with evidence suggesting foul play including accelerants and injuries inconsistent with fire alone, as reported by the Maryland State Police.
Authorities responded early morning to a fire at a residence in the 13,000 block of National Pike in Clear Spring. The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit, with federal and local law enforcement, is investigating. Autopsy results are pending, and it has been reported as a targeted attack. The Maryland State Police urge anyone with information related to this case to reach out to the Hagerstown Barrack at 301-766-3800, with reassurances that callers may remain anonymous.
