Prince George’s County police are investigating the death of a Montgomery County man who was found shot to death Saturday close to the border of the two counties, according to authorities.
Police responded to reports of a shooting on the 9200 block of New Hampshire Avenue about 4 p.m., according to a statement Monday from the Prince George’s police department. Officers found Carlos Alberto Ortiz, 35, of Silver Spring, in a wooded area suffering from gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead on scene, the statement said.
