The body of 25-year-old Francisco De La O De La Cruz, of College Park, was found Feb. 25 along Old Georgetown Road, covered with some kind of tarp or bag.

Investigators said the victim was killed inside a home he was living in on Rhode Island Avenue in College Park, and his body dumped in Bethesda.

One suspect, 18-year-old Juan Rivera-Ingles, of the West Lanham Hills area, is in custody in Montgomery County.

Police are still looking for Jenny Jaimes, 37, and her 17-year-old son, Jose Perdomo-Jaimes, both of College Park.

Police believe the two have fled the area.

Investigators said Jenny Jaimes had been in a romantic relationship with the victim and that the two got into a domestic dispute before the murder.

Montgomery County police, who were initially in charge of the case, have handed the investigation over to Prince George’s County police.
