RIVERDALE, Md. (WMAR) — A homeowner fatally shot an 18-year-old who broke into his Riverdale residence on Wednesday.

By the time police arrived, the suspect had run away. But a short time later, they were dispatched to Doctors Hospital in Lanham where a man had walked in with a gunshot wound.
Officers identified the man as Victory Mbeng, and determined that he was the burglar. Mbeng later died at the hospital.
The break-in was captured on home surveillance, and detectives believe it was targeted.
