PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. - The search continues for the man suspected of murdering 20-year-old Darrion Herring last month at the Mall at Prince George's.
The U.S. Marshals have now joined the hunt to locate and arrest 33-year-old Stephon Edward Jones of Washington, D.C.
He's charged with fatally shooting Herring on Aug. 18 in the mall's food court all because the victim allegedly looked at him. Herring was pronounced dead at the scene.
His family said he had ambitions of becoming a firefighter.
