Man Struck, Killed By MARC Train Was Suspect In Jessup Double Shooting

Howard County police say the suspect wanted in a Sunday double shooting in Jessup is dead from an apparent suicide.

Police say Jacinto Del Prado, 52, of Greenbelt was struck and killed by a MARC train in Lanham around 7 a.m. morning. The incident disrupted MARC Penn Line and Amtrak service for several hours. At the time, police had obtained an arrest warrant for Del Prado in the shooting of two men (one fatally) at an Assateague Drive truck stop.

The dead victim has since been identified as Chad Dewayne Daniel, 44, of Florida. The other victim, Warren Anthony Weeden, 57, of Baltimore remains in stable condition at Shock Trauma.

Police believe Del Prado went to the truck stop to confront a man in a domestic matter. However, they say the victims could have been shot in a case of mistaken identity.

Howard and Prince George's county police are still investigating the circumstances around the shooting and Del Prado's death.
