On the evening of March 23, 2024, officers responded to the 1800 block of Metzerott Road in Adelphi after reports of a shooting and found 43-year-old Charles Dent of Hyattsville outside with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators say the shooting stemmed from a dispute between Dent and an acquaintance.

Authorities identified 36-year-old Jamar Welch Sr. of Takoma Park as the suspect. More than a week after the shooting, Welch was arrested in Washington, D.C. He was charged with second-degree murder and related offenses and was awaiting extradition to Prince George’s County. A reward of up to $25,000 had been offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment.

Does anyone have information about Dent, his movements that evening, or the dispute that led to the shooting?
