Police say slain U.Md. student was dealing drugs

Prince George’s County police on Wednesday identified 22-year-old Justin DeSha-Overcash as the University of Maryland student who was shot to death Tuesday morning just minutes from the College Park campus in a drug-related robbery. “It appears that he was involved in the distribution of marijuana,” said police spokesman Maj. Andy Ellis. “Whether it was large-scale or small-scale, I can’t tell you.”

Ellis said the amount of pot found at the house “was much more” than what someone possessing it for just themselves would have. A digital scale and packaging materials were also found, he said.
