Father and son charged in tow truck driver’s killing

An Oxon Hill man and his son are being charged in connection with the killing of a tow truck driver last week, Prince George's County police said Thursday.

Andre Sanders, 40, of the 600 block of Audrey Lane in Oxon Hill, and Christopher Damon Sanders, 24, of the 1100 block of Allison Street in Northwest were arrested in the District on unrelated gun charges.

Prince George's County police said both men were extradited on Wednesday and were being held without bond.

They were charged with first-degree murder in the June 7 fatal shooting of Anton DeMichael Agurs, 43, of the 1700 block of Gould Street in Capitol Heights.

A passing motorist discovered Agurs lying in the roadway of an entrance to Oxon Hill Farm, just off the Capital Beltway at around 11:30 p.m. His tow truck was found nearby.

Both father and son were arrested June 8, according to D.C. court documents. Andre Sanders was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and Christopher Sanders was charged with carrying a pistol without a license.
