Victim in Montgomery Village shooting homicide identified, police locate wounded 2nd victim

Montgomery County Police have identified the male victim in Friday's fatal shooting in Montgomery Village. Wassi Harron Raheem Young, 20, of Vermont Avenue in Hyattsville was likely not a random victim, police say. Young and an unidentified 23-year-old male may have agreed to meet the shooter(s) in the 8500 block of Hawk Run Terrace, detectives believe.

Police learned of the second victim when he was admitted to an unidentified local hospital suffering from gunshot wounds. After interviewing him, detectives determined he had been shot in the same Montgomery Village incident.

Detectives say they will not divulge any additional information at this time, "due to the ongoing investigation." However, they are still seeking information from the public about this homicide.
