GAITHERSBURG, Md. — A suspect has been arrested for the murder of a millionaire philanthropist at a Maryland senior living center.
On Valentine's Day 87-year-old Robert Fuller Jr. was discovered shot to death inside his apartment at Cogir of Potomac.
One week later Montgomery County Police released surveillance video showing a person of interest on the property when the shooting occurred.
Tips led detectives to Maurquise Emillo James, who worked as a med-tech at the facility.
Maryland State Police pulled James over on Tuesday morning in Northwest Baltimore. He allegedly opened fire on a trooper before fleeing the scene. Although he was not hit, the trooper suffered minor injuries requiring hospitalization.
James was captured about 12 hours later in Montgomery County.
Detectives used ballistic evidence indicating the same gun was used in both the murder of Fuller and the trooper shooting.
No motive was revealed.
