Police have arrested two suspects who are allegedly connected to the murder of Jose Guerrero. Cops have identified one of them as Olvin Daniel Argueta Ramirez (19) and another 17-year-old male. According to police, the two suspects intended to rob Jose during a drug transaction in the Lost Canyon Court parking area. This led to an argument that turned violent when the two stabbed Jose Guerrero.

After Jose was unconscious, they brought him to Adelphi, Maryland, where they allegedly dumped his body in the woods. The two suspects then drove Jose’s car back to Bel Air Road, where police found it in an abandoned state.

“The guy who used to play soccer who was always there. I know he was gonna be a great dad, and I just want you guys to remember him like that.”

Jose Guerrero’s family initially mentioned that they had spotted his iPhone near the area where his abandoned vehicle was found, two miles away from his residence. The 17-year-old unidentified male has been charged with robbery and murder, while Olvin has been charged with stabbing in the commission of a felony and murder.

Olvin and the other suspect face murder charges. Police have confirmed that Jose’s death was the result of a narcotic transaction gone terribly wrong.
