A shooting at a Prince George’s County apartment complex over the week-end ivolving a police or security officer as first reported by PrivateOfficer.com on Sunday was cleared up today by police.
PG County police released the name of an off-duty police officer who fatally shot a man during a fight Saturday at the apartment complex where the officer works as a security guard.
Police said the officer, Steven Jackson, tried to arrest Manuel de Jesus Espina, 43, of the 8000 block of 14th Avenue in Langley Park for an alleged alcohol violation in the stairwell of the apartment building. Espina resisted, even after Jackson used his pepper spray and baton, according to police.
They said Espina and another resident of the complex, Manuel de Jesus Espina Jacome, 26, tried to get the officer’s baton. Jackson feared for his life and shot Espina in the torso, police said.
Police said that they are still conducting their investigation and looking for any witnesses to the shooting.
