Washington, DC: Victims identified in Chillum-area murder suicide

Police have identified the woman and man killed in an apparent murder-suicide in the Chillum area earlier this month as 29-year-old Tekabech Taye and 43-year-old Girma Berhe, authorities said Wednesday.

Prince George’s County police said Berhe shot Taye inside a vehicle in the 700 block of Ray Road, then shot himself, authorities said. The incident, which occurred about 2:40 p.m. on October 7, is believed to have stemmed from an “ongoing domestic dispute,” police said.

Police had said previously that the two people involved in the incident were in some type of relationship. Taye was pronounced dead inside the vehicle, and Berhe, who was found lying on the street, was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead there, police said..
