Suspect in Maryland judge's death still at large, officials complete search near his abandoned SUV

Breaking News Reporter

The search for a man suspected of fatally shooting a Maryland judge continues Monday, with officials saying they do not believe he is in the area where his SUV was found abandoned. Pedro Argote, 49, was named the suspect in the fatal shooting of Washington County Circuit Court Judge Andrew Wilkinson, who was shot hours after he gave Argote’s estranged wife custody of their four minor children. The Washington County Sheriff's Office described the shooting as a 'targeted' attack.

The sheriff’s office said Sunday that it concluded a search in the Williamsport area and 'no further information indicates that Argote is still in the immediate area.' The shooting happened the same day Judge Wilkinson awarded Argote’s estranged wife a 'partial judgment of absolute divorce' that granted her custody of their four children, denied Argote visitation and ordered him to pay child support.
