Montgomery County police identified a hospital employee Sunday killed in an apparent attack at a Bethesda medical center but have yet to publicly name a suspect in the first homicide of 2011 in the Maryland suburb. Authorities said Roosevelt Brockington Jr., 40, of Lusby, Md., was the Suburban Hospital worker slain on Saturday, prompting a four-hour lockdown as investigators looked for the attacker. According to Suburban officials, the Calvert County resident had worked at the site since August 2006 as a lead engineer in the hospital’s Plant Operations Department. He was responsible for maintaining the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Even though much of the hospital is under surveillance, police said they “do not have any suspect description to release.”
