Two Suspects In Killing Of 18-Year-Old Waldorf Teen.
  • PublishedMay 24, 2019

Police have charged two men in connection with the killing of a Waldorf teenager in March. Charles County Sheriff’s Office has charged Michael Rashid Moore, 22, of Waldorf and Darren Earl Miller, 24, of Washington, D.C. in connection with the murder of Walter Eugene Thomas.

The 18-year-old was shot and killed on March 4 in the 2100 block of Fairchild Court in Waldorf. Police say Thomas and a friend were walking on Fairchild Court when two suspects approached them in a car and announced a robbery. One of the suspects opened fire with a gun striking Thomas as he fled.

Thomas ran to Freemantle Court where he collapsed and died as a result of his injuries. On May 17, through an extensive investigation, detectives linked Moore to the Thomas murder. They also identified Miller as a suspect in that case. Miller was arrested at his residence in Washington, D.C. and subsequently extradited to Charles County where he was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and other charges. Moore, who was already being held at the CCDC for the shooting on Amber Leaf, was served an arrest warrant charging him with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, first-degree assault, robbery, and other related charges for the murder of Thomas.

Police say the shooting was random. Both suspects are being held with no bond.
