Walters Mpang Halle Elangwe, 29, was killed on July 11, 2020, in Annapolis while meeting someone to buy a used iPhone. A transaction arranged on the 1100 block of Primrose Court turned deadly when two men approached his gray Honda shortly before 4 p.m. An eyewitness reported a conversation before one of the men produced a handgun and fired multiple shots through the windshield. Elangwe reversed in an attempt to escape, struck another vehicle, and came to a stop; the assailants fled into nearby woods and emergency responders found him with gunshot injuries. He was taken to a hospital and later died of his wounds.

Annapolis detectives identified 18-year-old Jaden Kemeatrius Crowner of Brooklyn as the primary suspect, alleging he and accomplices had set up the meeting to rob Elangwe. Investigators used cellphone records and surveillance footage in the probe. Crowner was arrested in June 2022 and charged with murder, assault, reckless endangerment, and weapons violations. The State’s Attorney described Elangwe as a hardworking man killed in a senseless act of violence.

Did anyone in Annapolis know Elangwe or have information about that July 11 transaction?
