Friends of Telly Ruidoso Allen, of the 9600 block of Gwynndale Drive in Clinton, took him to a nearby hospital after he was shot in the lower body about 10 p.m. in the 3400 block of Dodge Park Road, police said. Allen, 28, died a short time later.

Anthony Moore, 23, of the 1100 block of 61st Avenue, and friends got into a fight with a group of people outside a nearby restaurant before 2 a.m., police said.

Officers found Moore and a friend in the 2200 block of Landover Road after their car crashed. Both had been shot, police said. Moore was pronounced dead at the scene; his friend was taken to a nearby hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries.

Tonya Evette Berry and Tyrone Hall, both 31 and of Oxon Hill, were arrested Dec. 14 in connection with a homicide Nov. 6 in Oxon Hill, police said.

Officers found Leroy Joseph James Beatty, 21, of the 900 block of Marcy Avenue, suffering from gunshots near his home just before 4 a.m., police said. He was taken to Prince George’s Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Berry, of the 5400 block of Livingston Terrace, and Hall, of the 4500 block of Livingston Road, were charged with first-degree murder, police said.

Prince George’s County police closed 98 homicides last year and four more during the first 11 days of 2005. Three of those took place last year.

The FBI standard that all police departments across the country follow to measure homicide closures is the Uniform Crime Reporting Standard, which counts all homicides that are closed in any given year, regardless of when the homicide occurred.
