Case narrative
Source text · highlightedDerrick Peterson, 23, had just pulled into a parking space in front of his home in the 9600 block of Barrel House Road in Laurel on Dec. 17, 2001 when he was shot and killed. The homicide occurred at approximately 9:00 p.m. Witnesses at the time reported seeing a black male of average height and build fleeing the scene on foot, carrying what appeared to be a bag or bulky item. He got into a waiting vehicle driven by a large black male, described as in his mid- to late 20s, six feet to six feet three inches tall, approximately 275 pounds. The vehicle was described as a four-door boxy, white sedan, similar to a Crown Victoria. Initially, the investigation focused on a possible robbery, but investigators now believe the homicide was drug-related.
