U.S. Marshals, Hyattsville PD Arrest Double-Shooting, Robbery Suspect

Washington, DC – The U.S. Marshals Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force, along with the Hyattsville Police Department, arrested on Friday a suspect involved in a high-profile double shooting and robbery that injured two people in November 2024.

Devin Demetrius Spivey, 21, was taken into custody at about 6:30 a.m. at a home in the 9100 block of Cherry Lane in Laurel, Maryland.

Spivey faces 18 charges, including two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of attempted second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault, armed robbery, and stalking.

The double shooting and robbery happened Nov. 5, 2024, in the 2500 block of Kirkwood Place. Spivey is one of five suspects wanted for targeting a man and woman who were coming back from dinner. The victims survived their injuries.

“The arrest of Devin Spivey by members of the Marshals Service Task Force is a perfect example of what a team of dedicated federal and local law enforcement officers can accomplish together,” says Clinton J. Fuchs, United States Marshal for the District of Maryland. 

"This arrest is a crucial step toward justice for the victims and safety for our community," said Chief Jarod Towers. "Our officers worked tirelessly alongside our law enforcement partners to identify and apprehend the suspect. We hope this provides some relief to the victims and everyone involved.”

“This was a senseless act of violence, and our office will continue to work to hold these violent offenders accountable,” says Prince George's County State’s Attorney Tara Jackson. “We want to thank the City of Hyattsville Police Department, the U.S. Marshals Service, as well as the Prince George’s County Police Department, the attorneys and investigators, and our federal partners for their work on this case.”

This remains an active investigation. Anyone with any information about the shooting is encouraged to call the Hyattsville PD at (301) 985-5060 or send tips via the U.S. Marshals Tip App.

The Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force focuses resources and efforts on the enhancement of public safety and the reduction of violence within the National Capital Region through the identification, investigation, and apprehension of fugitives wanted for egregious crimes against the community, while ensuring the equal application of Justice, Integrity, and Service for all.
