Maryland police release photos of suspects in shooting death of garbage collector

Police in Maryland released photos Friday of the suspects and car wanted in connection with the broad-daylight murder of a garbage collector last week.

Idongesit Udosen, 30, was shot and killed around 3:40 p.m. on Thursday, April 4, in the 6800 block of Greenvale Parkway in Hyattsville, according to the Prince George’s County Police Department.

Officers responded to the area after receiving reports of a shooting to find Udosen “in the roadway suffering from gunshot wounds,” the department said. 

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

On Friday, the department released pictures of the suspects, who have yet to be identified, and video of the car they used in Udosen’s killing.

The car appears to be a gray Kia sedan, police said, and can be seen driving in the area of Greenvale Parkway prior to the shooting. Before the video ends, the driver backs into an open spot on the street in front of a parked van and next to three garbage cans.

When Udosen arrives at the scene in a garbage truck, two suspects exit the car and shoot at him before fleeing the area.

While a motive is working to be determined, detectives do not believe the shooting was random.
