Authorities say Hairston was apprehended with the help from the Prince George's County Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service.

On April 23, just after 11:00 p.m., stationary officers heard gunshots in the area of Tyler Avenue.

Those officers were led to the 1300 block of Tyler Avenue and found Wells suffering from gunshot wounds.

Despite life-saving measures, Wells succumbed to his injuries at the Anne Arundel Medical Center.

Hairston is charged with second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, use of a firearm in a violent crime, and loaded handgun on person.

He is currently being held without bond at the Jennifer Road Detention Center.
