WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) announced Wednesday that a second arrest has been made in connection to a murder that happened in 1992.
MPD said that on March 31, 1992, Prince George’s County Police Department (PGPD) officers found a man who was unconscious in Hyattsville, Md.
He “displayed no signs consistent with life” and stayed there until he was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, which determined the man’s cause of death to be “strangulation, multiple stab and cut wounds and blunt force trauma.”
The case was deemed a homicide, and investigators identified the man as 19-year-old Ricardo Burbano of Falls Church, Va.
Investigators later learned that the murder happened inside a home in the 100 block of Q St. NW one day earlier.
In 2022, MPD officers charged a 47-year-old man from Florida for the murder.
On Tuesday, MPD arrested a second suspect, 54-year-old Tyrone Long of Northwest, and charged him with first-degree murder.
Police said that the case is still under investigation.
