Authorities say a man suspected of killing a Maryland judge last week has been found dead
A man suspected of killing a Maryland judge last week was found dead Thursday, according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities believe Pedro Argote, 49, was angry about losing custody of his children when he shot and killed the judge who presided over his divorce case. The Oct. 19 attack unfolded outside the home of Washington County Circuit Court Judge Andrew Wilkinson. Law enforcement launched a search for Argote immediately after the shooting.
They discovered his Mercedes SUV in a wooded area in Williamsport, about 8 miles southwest of Hagerstown, where the judge was shot. Authorities searched the area where the vehicle was found but concluded Argote wasn’t there. But officials said this morning they had returned to the area to conduct “additional evidentiary searches.” Argote’s body was found in a heavily wooded area about a mile from the SUV, officials said. They did not release a suspected cause of death.
