On the night of June 16, 2023, the life of 29-year-old Hispanic male Mynor Galvez Juarez of Hyattsville was cut short in Prince George's County, Maryland. At approximately 11:40 p.m., officers were called to the 900 block of Addison Road South in the Capitol Heights area to check on the welfare of an unresponsive man found on the side of the road. Upon arrival, they discovered Galvez Juarez suffering from gunshot wounds.
Despite the efforts of first responders, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The subsequent investigation by Prince George's County police detectives determined that the fatal shooting had actually occurred in the 6600 block of Greig Street in Seat Pleasant. It is believed that an initial dispute between Galvez Juarez and another individual escalated to the deadly shooting. Through their investigation, detectives were able to identify multiple suspects involved in the homicide.
Within days, arrests were made in connection with the murder. Otoniel Morales, a 34-year-old from Seat Pleasant, was charged with first- and second-degree murder. Edwin Roque Alarcon, 19, also a resident of Seat Pleasant, was taken into custody and charged with being an accessory after the fact. A third suspect, 21-year-old Milton Alarcon-Ruiz of Capitol Heights, was later apprehended in New Jersey. He faces charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and other related charges for his alleged role in the killing of Mynor Galvez Juarez. All three suspects were taken into custody.
