HAGERSTOWN, Md. (TCD) -- A 31-year-old man was taken into custody in North Carolina after he allegedly shot and killed his roommate during an argument, then forced three other housemates to go with him to the park where he left the body.
On the evening of Dec. 17, the Hagerstown Police Department contacted Pennsylvania State Police to report 20-year-old Isiah Clark was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound in a local park. Two women reportedly told police that Clark was killed at their home on the 14000 block of Ditto Road in Montgomery Township, Pennsylvania.
Hagerstown is close to the Maryland-Pennsylvania state line.
The two women said Clark and the suspect, Shane Bradley, got into a "minor verbal altercation," and Bradley fired a single shot from a pistol, killing Clark. Bradley allegedly made one of their other roommates help him move the body to his car.
Then, he allegedly "forced the two females and male resident into the vehicle, while under duress," and took them to Terrapin Park in Maryland. When they got to the park, Bradley allegedly removed Clark’s body and freed the two women.
Bradley reportedly drove off with the other male, who was found by Maryland State Police. Hagerstown Police said the man was not harmed.
Pennsylvania State Police investigators determined there was probable cause to arrest Bradley on charges of criminal homicide, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure, and tampering with evidence.
U.S. Marshals located Bradley in Greensboro, North Carolina. He will be extradited to Pennsylvania to face the charges.
