In the late hours of a Thursday evening in Landover, Maryland, the life of 43-year-old Brian Keith Tann was tragically cut short. On January 12, 2012, at approximately 10:24 p.m., police responded to a report of a shooting at a residence on Bender Road. Inside, they discovered Tann suffering from trauma to his body. He was swiftly transported to a local hospital, but his injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced deceased.
The investigation into the death of Brian Keith Tann, a male
victim, quickly focused on an acquaintance. The Prince George's County Police Department's Homicide Unit identified 21-year-old Thomas Everett Chester III as the suspect. Investigators determined that the shooting stemmed from a dispute between Chester and Tann. The day after the shooting, on January 13, 2012, a warrant for first-degree murder was issued for Chester's arrest.
The search for the suspect was brief. On January 16, 2012, Thomas Everett Chester III turned himself in to the authorities without incident. He was subsequently remanded to the Prince George's County Department of Corrections, where he was held on a no-bond status. The available online sources detail the initial arrest and charges brought against Chester, but do not contain information regarding the outcome of any subsequent trial or conviction.
