Washington D.C.- A person of interest in a Prince George's County homicide was arrested Friday night after a police chase ended in a crash and the discovery of a woman inside a trunk.
On Friday, around 6:45 a.m., police were called to a home on the 2200 block of Wyngate Road for a report of a fight. When they arrived, they found the body of Jamal Rami Martin, 34, inside the house. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide by strangulation.
Prince George's County homicide detectives identified Leon Antauwn Wynn, 43, of Suitland as a person of interest. According to D.C. Police, officers spotted Wynn's vehicle, a white Chevy Impala on Naylor Road at around 8:30 p.m., but did not initially give chase.
