Suspect in custody for fatal shooting of community activist Cornelius McDonald in PG County
A suspect is in custody in connection to the fatal shooting outside Jasper's Restaurant in Prince George's County, Maryland.
A judge ultimately ruled against a bond for Terrelle Bailey. According to officials, Bailey is a special police officer in D.C. and was legally carrying a firearm.
His defense attorney argued the fatal shooting was in self-defense. Bailey is charged with first and second degree murder among other charges.
Court documents indicate he and the victim, 33-year-old Cornelius McDonald, had an argument inside the restaurant.
In fact, investigators say the argument became so disruptive that Bailey was ordered to pay his bill and then escorted out the restaurant by police who were on site at the time.
