On the evening of September 19, 2011, 47-year-old William Albert Nelson was shot on the 20 block of Sultan Avenue in Capitol Heights, Maryland. Patrol officers found him in the street at about 8:58 p.m. with significant trauma; he was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead a short time later.

Prince George’s County Police Homicide Unit investigated the killing and identified a suspect, 25-year-old Deangelo Walker of the 5500 block of Dole Street in Capitol Heights. Detectives obtained an arrest warrant charging Walker with first-degree murder; the warrant was served while he was already in custody at the Prince George’s County Department of Corrections on an unrelated charge, and he was subsequently held without bond. The motive has not been released.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Homicide Unit or Crime Solvers.
