Shauntese Gedeon was 32 when she was found in a Riverdale, Maryland, parking lot on the evening of January 29, 2021, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She died a short time later at a local hospital. Authorities said the shooting followed an argument with someone she knew.

Prince George’s County Police Homicide Unit identified 28-year-old Rutilio Orellana of Riverdale as a suspect and took him into custody within days. He was charged with first- and second-degree murder and other related counts and held by the Department of Corrections.

A young life ended in a public place after a dispute; few details about motive or the events leading up to the shooting have been released. Anyone with information about Shauntese Gedeon, her movements that night, or the circumstances of the argument is urged to come forward.
