Arrest Made in Parkdale High Stabbing Death

RIVERDALE, Md. - Prince George's County police say two brothers from Hyattsville are suspects in the stabbing death of a 15-year-old Parkdale High School student.

Guillermo Enrique Medina was stabbed in the chest after he exchanged words with someone in a car that approached him on Good Luck Road near the school in Riverdale on Wednesday, police say.

Officers arrested 18-year-old Walter Izaguirre Henrique on Wednesday on an unrelated charge. He was charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond.

Police are still looking for his brother, 18-year-old Rony Antonio Izaguirre Henrique, who is charged in an arrest warrant with first-degree murder.

About 100 people gathered for the vigil Thursday night near the site along Good Luck Road where the New Carrollton teenager was killed.

The attack happened just before 2:45 p.m. Wednesday in the 6000 block of Good Luck Road, Prince George's County Police Cpl. Clinton Copeland says.

A tan-colored vehicle approached Medina, a sophomore at Parkdale High School, as he walked home. Copeland says there was an altercation, and a suspect got out of the car and stabbed Medina in the chest. The vehicle carrying the suspect sped off after the attack.

The teen's friends found him and called 911. He later died at a local hospital.

The incident happened about a quarter-mile from the school.

Parkdale High School was open on Thursday, with grief counselors and a crisis team on hand for students.
