| Sellitto |
On July 19 at 1:01 a.m., Charles County Sheriff’s officers and officers with La Plata Town Police responded to a shooting in the 600 block of Kent Avenue.
Investigation revealed the victims, a 22-year-old La Plata man and a 19-year-old Indian Head man, left a friend’s apartment and began walking toward the parking lot. As they exited the building, the suspect, Christopher Scott Sellitto, 21, of no fixed address, approached and began arguing with the men (the suspect and victims are known to each other). During the argument, Sellitto produced a shotgun and fired one round, striking both victims. Sellitto fled and the 22- year-old victim was transported to a nearby hospital where he was treated for non life-threatening injuries. The 19- year-old victim refused medical treatment.
Detectives obtained an arrest warrant charging Sellitto with attempted murder; however, he has not been located. Anyone with information about Sellitto’s whereabouts should call Detective Elliott at (301) 609-6515.
