A workplace dispute at a Capitol Heights senior living facility turned deadly on the morning of October 8, 2021. Mackeda Evans, 46, an employee at Gateway Village, was fatally shot on the first floor of the building alongside a colleague, Michelle Boateng, also 46. Both women were pronounced dead at the scene after police responded shortly after 9 a.m. to a disturbance call.

Police arrested 63-year-old resident Roy Batson in a third-floor hallway less than an hour after officers arrived. Batson was found in the hallway and taken into custody without incident; a gun was recovered there. Investigators say the shootings followed a prior argument earlier that month over a violation notice and that Batson admitted returning to his apartment to retrieve a gun before confronting and shooting the two women.

Batson was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and held without bond, and the Prince George’s County Police Department assumed the homicide investigation. Does anyone have additional information about Evans, her role at the facility, or the events that led up to October 8?
