COUNCIL VICE-CHAIR AND DISTRICT 6 COUNCIL MEMBER WALA BLEGAY RESPONDS TO DEADLY CARJACKING AT LARGO GAS STATION

On Tuesday another act of violence was committed in our community.   I am deeply saddened and extend my heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Lee Alexander Thomas, a District 6 resident whose life was taken in a deadly carjacking at a gas station in Largo.  

When violence invades the lives of a family in our community, it affects us all.  At a time when Mr. Alexander’s family should be gathering to celebrate the holidays, they are now gathering to mourn a life lost. 

I am determined to keep our communities safe. I will work with Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy and Chief of Police Malik Aziz to ensure justice in the senseless murder of Lee Alexander Thomas.

The Thomas family has my full support and prayers during this difficult time. In District 6, we are family, and we will get through these difficult times together.

A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case. If you have any information, please call 301-516-2512.
