BEL AIR, MD — The man who in 2017 shot five co-workers in Edgewood, killing three, was sentenced Friday in Harford County Circuit Court to serve multiple life sentences in prison. Radee Prince, 41, of Elkton, was reportedly ordered to serve five life sentences for the Advanced Granite Solutions shooting. Prince opened fire with a semiautomatic handgun at the countertop business where he worked in Emmorton Business Park Oct. 18, 2017, shooting five co-workers in the head, prosecutors said. In October 2020, a jury found Prince guilty of three counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder, using a firearm in a felony crime and illegal use of a firearm. Those killed were identified as Bayarsaikhan Tudev, 53, of Arlington, Virginia; Jose "Oscar" Hidalgo Romero, 34, of Aberdeen; and Enis Mrvoljak, 48, of Dundalk. Two others who were shot survived — Enoc Villegas Sosa of North East and Jose Roberto Flores Gillen of Edgewood. After issuing their verdict, jurors in November 2020 ruled Prince could not plead insanity because he understood the consequences of his actions. At sentencing in Harford County Friday, a victim impact statement from Sosa was read into the record in which he said he suffered long-term effects of the shooting, such as brain damage, and was not the same father to his children, The Aegis reported. Following the deadly shootings in Edgewood, which occurred before 9 a.m., a manhunt ensued until Prince was apprehended in Delaware. He was taken into custody by federal agents and local officers at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 18, 2017, after shooting and injuring a sixth person in Wilmington, Delaware. He was tried in Delaware first, despite facing three murder charges in Maryland, because there was a possibility he could have been sentenced there to life without parole. A Delaware jury found Prince found guilty of attempted manslaughter in May 2018, and he was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Prince will finish his sentence in Delaware before doing his time in Maryland, The Aegis reported. Concurrent with the five life sentences, court records show Prince was ordered in Harford County to serve 20 years for using a firearm in a felony crime and 15 years for illegal firearm possession.
