murder suspect arrested in maryland

In Maryland, police have arrested a suspect in connection with the murder of 24-year-old Longyuan Wang, who was found dead last week in Gaithersburg with multiple stab wounds: Suspect In Montgomery Village Homicide Arrested.

Investigators said Wang was walking home from his job at the Red Robin at Lakeforest Mall—where he was a popular waiter known as "Moonie"—when he was attacked. He may have been the victim of an attempted robbery.

Montgomery County police questioned 18-year-old Manuel Antonio Barahona, who already had a warrant out for his arrest in connection with another case. He ultimately issued a statement admitting his involvement in the killing, and was charged with first-degree murder. Police are now looking for a second person in the case.
