Overview
- Springdale officers found 30-year-old Charles Carr shot inside Room 232 of the Extended Stay Suites and rushed him to Bethesda North Hospital, where he later died.
- Police say Carr’s partner and their one-year-old were asleep in the room and were not injured when multiple rounds were fired from an exterior balcony.
- Investigators recovered a firearm and a sweatshirt after reviewing surveillance footage and say the suspect removed the clothing after the shooting.
- Twenty-year-old Nigel Norman was arrested hiding in the Super 8 motel laundry room next door and has been charged with murder, felonious assault and improperly discharging a firearm with bond set at $30 million.
- Authorities say both men lived at the Extended Stay property but have found no evidence they knew each other, leaving motive unresolved and prompting questions about safety in mixed transient-resident hotels.
