Eric Alexander Melgar, 20, was shot multiple times in the Wheaton Metro station parking garage in Silver Spring on the evening of July 14, 2015. The shooting occurred on the third level just after 7 p.m.; Melgar was taken to a hospital where he died of his wounds.

Montgomery County police say two men fled on foot after the shooting and were found at a nearby intersection. A handgun was recovered. The suspects were identified as 19-year-old Douglas Shannon Chase and 18-year-old Brent Deon Sanderson; both were arrested and charged with first-degree murder and held without bond. Authorities said the motive was under investigation and it was unclear whether Melgar knew the suspects beforehand.

If anyone has information about the confrontation in the Wheaton Metro parking garage that evening, please come forward.
