PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. - A 45-year-old has been charged with the deadly stabbing of another man in Prince George’s County, police say.
Nelson Ford was taken into custody early Tuesday in connection to the stabbing that left 41-year-old Christopher Woodland over a week ago.
According to police, officers were called to the scene in the 5600 block of Silver Hill Road in the unincorporated section of District Heights around 2 p.m. on Aug. 10.
When they arrived, officers found the victim in a parking lot suffering from a stab wound. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
