Washington DC rapper arrested on murder charges

Washington DC rapper Landough$ has been arrested following a deadly shooting.

The 20-year-old man (real name Orlando Edwards) was taken into custody on May 28th alongside a 21-year-old woman named India Stroman.

According to WJLA, Edwards and Stroman are facing first and second-degree murder charges relating to the death of 47-year-old Ricardo Vance.

Police claim that on February 3rd, Edwards and Stroman got into an altercation with Vance in Prince George’s County.

Vance was spotted following Stroman out of a store, with the woman then getting into the back of a black Cadillac Escalade alongside Edwards. He spoke to them from outside the vehicle before the car drove off and stopped at some traffic lights nearby.

Investigators say Vance got into a red Nissan Sentra and drove alongside them at the lights, with bullets then being fired from the back of the Escalade where Edwards and Stroman were sitting.

Vance then made a getaway on foot but died from his injuries in the 6100 block of Oxon Hill Road, with the Escalade driving off.

Police later found the Escalade and the person who was driving the vehicle, who claimed that Edwards told him not to contact the police.

Landough$ released an album titled Trap Wars in December 2025; songs like ‘Problems’ and ‘Bumpin’ have dozens of thousands of streams on YouTube. Police claim that in one of his music videos, he’s wearing the same outfit as the night of the shooting.

Following Vance’s death, his sister told the Daily Voice, “He had a natural way of making people laugh – always ready with a joke, a smile, or a story that could lighten any room. He was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely kind.”
