Jacket might lead to Suitland man's killer

Derrick Markel Peterson was gunned down near his mother’s apartment more than 10 years ago, and Howard County police are hoping to find a piece of clothing that might lead to the 23-year-old’s killers. Police have also raised the reward to $10,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case.

It was Dec. 19, 2001. Peterson had just pulled up around the corner of his family’s home in Laurel. Police believe someone came up from behind and shot him.
