A Landover man caught breaking into a Suitland home early Thursday morning allegedly shot a District of Columbia cab driver to death only hours earlier, Prince George’s County law enforcement sources said.

Christian E. Brooks, 25, was charged with first-degree murder, accused of pulling the cab driver from his taxi and shooting him to death.

Police believe they found the murder weapon in Brooks’ possession when they caught him outside a home on the 3700 block of Summer Street, sources told The Examiner. Police are awaiting the outcome of ballistic tests.
