Two Maryland men have been arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of a 19-year-old from Silver Spring.

Montgomery County police said officers responded Tuesday for a reported shooting in the 1000 block of Good Hope Drive in Cloverly around 3:40 p.m.



They found Jahiem Rayquan Pinnock, 19, of Silver Spring, with a gunshot wound in a parking lot. Pinnock was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

When officers tried to stop the Toyota, police said it sped off, ran a red light at the intersection of New Hampshire Avenue and Lockwood Drive. The car eventually crossed the median, damaged one of its tires and came to a stop on Powder Mill Road.

Authorities said when the Toyota stopped, Glen Ellis, 20, of Takoma Park, fled on foot. He was arrested after a short foot chase.

The driver, Jose Angel Calderon Nolasco, 19, of Beltsville, was also arrested.

Both been charged with murder and are awaiting a bond hearing.
