ROCKVILLE, Md. (AP) - Authorities say a 19-year-old entered the bedroom of a sleeping 17-year-old acquaintance and strangled him.
Citing an arrest warrant, The Washington Post (https://wapo.st/2mZ5Oti) reports that Tysean A. Lipford of Silver Spring told detectives he had overheard the victim on the phone, telling someone that he intended to kill Lipford, Lipford’s daughter, and other family members.
Police say Lipford put Christian Leroy Matthews into a chokehold inside Matthews’ basement bedroom early Tuesday in Montgomery County. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The victim is the brother of a woman with whom Lipford has a child.
Investigators say Lipford left the house without trying to revive Matthews or calling 911.
