Both suspects, who reside in Annapolis, Maryland, were arrested pursuant to a bench warrant issued subsequent to a Grand Jury Indictment charging them with Murder One While Armed in the death of Derrick Johnson.

On Monday, September 8, 2008, at approximately 9:50 pm, members from the Sixth District were called to the 4800 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE, to investigate the sounds of gunshots. Upon arrival, officers located 21-year-old Derrick Johnson of Oxon Hill, Maryland suffering from a gunshot wound. Mr. Johnson was subsequently transported to an area hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
