“At this point, detectives have been working many leads over the past nine days,” Picerno said in an interview with MyMCMedia. “We have had over 100 different interviews and citizen contacts trying to get information from the community. It’s a very active case. We are still fully in the investigative process and we are definitely looking for community members and citizens help to try and develop new leads and new sources of information. We are certainly looking for people who were in the area of the shooting who may have seen people or vehicles that were prior to or afterward that were suspicious. We are also looking for people who know the victims who would be able to give us some information on their history, and people they may have had issues with.”
If you have information about this case, call the Major Crimes Division at 240.773.5070.
This post has been corrected because an earlier version mistakenly reported the first name of the detective. The detective is Lt. Nicholas Picerno not Lt. Steve Picerno.
