CAPITAL GAZETTE  | The 29-year-old man from Landover gunned down Saturday afternoon in Annapolis was a native of Cameroon who had arranged to purchase a cell phone as part of a plan to realize his American dream.

When he wasn’t working as an accountant in Washington, Walters Mpang Halle Elangwe flipped smartphones on the weekend to save up cash for his “ultimate goal” of opening up a business, his uncle told The Capital in a phone interview from a Maryland funeral home Tuesday.

Edward Halle, 38, said news of his nephew’s death shocked the consciences of family and friends from Arizona to Prince George’s County to Central Africa.

It also reverberated across Annapolis, where Elangwe’s killing marked a somber milestone. It was the fourth homicide of the year and came just as citizens were mourning the victim of a fatal stabbing over a deadly holiday weekend. With almost six months remaining in 2020, the city has already equaled its total homicide count of 2019.

“I’m hoping that we don’t have anymore, but I am concerned,” Police Chief Ed Jackson said.

“Every life lost is a tragedy, no matter how many in a year,” Mayor Gavin Buckley said in a statement.

Jackson said homicides are up nationwide. Indeed, an analysis from the New York Times found that killings have increased while the rest of violent crime has trended down compared to the same time last year. It’s an unusual trend in the most unusual of times, as its set squarely amid the global coronavirus pandemic and national unrest following the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers.

It’s not a consolation for Elangwe’s loved ones, who are left to wonder how something like this could happen to someone so educated, so hard working and so driven.

“He was an amazing guy,” Halle said. “I’ve been asking myself: Why why why?”

Halle and Elangwe grew up together in Cameroon, where they were more like brothers than uncle and nephew.

He earned his bachelor’s degree back home, but pursued masters degrees in Europe, Halle said. There, he earned a scholarship through the European Union’s Erasmus Mundus program, which allowed him to earn a dual degree in management between northern Portugal and Germany.

Elangwe planned to complete the degree, come to America for experience and return to Cameroon to start a business, his uncle said. But that all changed when his home country was gripped by a pair of violent conflicts, in one of which the government was targeting the English-speaking minority Elangwe was a part of, according to the International Crisis Group.

Halle, who’d come to the U.S. years earlier, said his nephew came here in 2018 with a work permit. After two throat surgeries in Washington, Halle said Elangwe got a job as an accountant for the National Democratic Institute. Halle said after he left for Arizona in 2019, Elangwe lived by himself in Landover, where he enjoyed playing pickup soccer at a nearby community college on Friday nights.

A die-hard Manchester United fan, Halle said his nephew’s calling was as an entrepreneur. Elangwe had applied to the University of Baltimore business school for an MBA and was saving up money with his side hustle to make something for himself after he achieved his latest degree, Halle said. He also recalled that within days of arriving in America, he’d taught his uncle to trade stocks.

“He was a person who was never selfish with knowledge. Whatever he knew he always loved to share with others.”

It was Elangwe’s entrepreneurial endeavors that brought him to Annapolis Saturday.

Jackson said Elangwe and his killer or killers had arranged to meet in the 1100 block of Primrose Court for a transaction said was not nefarious, citing the victim’s lack of a criminal record. Investigators believe preliminarily that it was a robbery, according to the police chief.

Halle explained his nephew had been negotiating with someone online to buy an iPhone for a couple of hundred bucks. They’d agreed on somewhere in Annapolis. Halle last spoke with Elangwe over the phone on Friday.

“Somehow something went wrong,” Jackson said.

Halle can’t figure out how, though.

“Even when Walters is angry, he is always smiling.”

Jackson said the young man must have sensed something, as investigators believe when he was backing up his sedan when someone fired multiple rounds through the windshield. Elangwe was hit more than once.

Police officers responded around 4 p.m. and found Elangwe in the car. He was taken to a local hospital, where he died.

Halle said the family just hopes for swift justice.

The police chief said he’s confident in his detectives.

They’ve taken the car into custody and are processing it for evidence, including fingerprints, that may indicate who else was in the vehicle, Jackson said. Investigators are also reviewing camera footage from the community and around town to see how the killers escaped and where they went.

Jackson said the killing wasn’t random, but Halle sees it as cold-blooded.

“It’s just heartbreaking: A young man with so much potential.”

  22. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  109. We hope you find this guide to the best betting offers in India helpful. These bonuses can provide extra padding to your betting wallet, meaning you should take complete advantage of such promotions to beef up your winnings. However, ensure you’re claiming these from only reputed and trustworthy betting sites and avoid unknown bookmakers with no documented betting background or history. DraftKings is one of the biggest names in online sports betting. In addition to a large betting menu, it offers daily promos and loyalty rewards.  DraftKings has you covered for all your bets on the MLB regular season, the PGA Rocket Mortgage Classic, and lots more this week. These are just a few of the promos available at DraftKings Sportsbook for the week of June 26 – July 2. As a general rule of thumb, any promotion is better than no promotion. It’s called a bonus for a reason. However, we must again caution that risk-free bets are not entirely risk-free. Further, risk-free bet offers don’t net you anything if you win the initial qualifying bet.

    I would also like to leave a comment here about bookmaker 1Win. It took me a long time to get my act together and try to place a bet. However, I spent a long time studying the betting content, and so I somehow pulled myself together and registered a 1Win account. After which, I was pleasantly surprised, and I got a great benefit from the bonus and then started betting on tennis, football and cricket, as I am well versed in these sports, I didn’t have much difficulty in the process. Before that, it was only scary to make a deposit, how to bet and so on. However, now I’ve got it all figured out so well, I’ve even withdrawn my bonus already, and I’m still betting, and thanks for the review!

  157. La Slovenia è sicuramente un passo in avanti rispetto a tanti paesi europei per quanto riguarda il gioco nei casinò tradizionali e, infatti, può contare su diverse strutture davvero all’avanguardia. Una di queste è sicuramente il Perla, situato a Nova Gorica. Questo casinò può contare su un aspetto esteriore davvero intriganti, forme rivoluzionare, un resort e un hotel a cinque stelle. All’interno, però, non troverai lo stesso sfarzo di altri casino famosi in Europa, come quello di Monte-Carlo, ma l’atmosfera sarà ugualmente intrigante. A chi ama vivere l’adrenalina del momento, invece, permettiamo di scommettere in tempo reale con le scommesse Live, per puntare su eventi sportivi in svolgimento. Casino Midas è un casinò online che offre roulette con soldi veri molto rispettato in Europa per la grande professionalità e per i bonus che offre ai nuovi iscritti.

    La legge in Italia impone che qualsiasi slot casinò registri alcuni dati sensibili degli utenti, come le generalità e il domicilio. Per questo motivo non esistono casinò con slot a soldi veri senza registrazione, ma la realtà è che registrarsi conviene. Creando un account, infatti, potrete usufruire dei bonus slot, che possono essere in denaro reale o sotto forma di giri gratis. Può sembrare strano dato che per iscriversi a un casino online bisogna inviare anche il proprio documento per la verifica della maggiore età. Ma vi assicuro che c’è molta più privacy e riservatezza online, dove il nostro documento va vagliato da un ignaro addetto al controllo dell’identità di una società esterna, che non nelle sale giochi VLT e i bar delle città, dove tutti si conoscono e vengono avvistati al gioco delle slot machine.

  173. Download a quick how-to guide here. Like stud poker, 3 card poker requires players to make ante bets and create the highest hand at the table. With fewer cards in a hand, three card poker is faster than regular real money poker games. The rules are simple to learn; just follow these steps: No, it is two different card games even though they are very similar, and both rely on three cards for play. The main difference between three card poker and the well-known Indian Teen Patti is that in Teen Patti high and none cards are merged. In three card poker, the ranking of a straight flush and three of a kind is usually interchanged with each other. Play for the progressive Three Card Jackpot and you could win the Envy Bonus if anyone at the table has a Mini Royal. By the way, that pair plus bet is a side bet that only concerns the value of your hand and has nothing to do with what the dealer has. In most 3 Card Poker games, you can also win an “ante bonus” if you make an especially strong hand like a straight flush, three of a kind or a straight. Again, you can win that ante bonus no matter what the dealer makes.

    Claiming a bonus is almost similar in different casinos. For example, to claim a welcome bonus, follow these steps: It is the most common welcome bonus within betting circles. The bonus comes alongside the first deposit, either spin to play at the casino’s online slots or a cash bonus deposited in the bonus account. Online casinos like this bonus as its return on investment is higher than free spins with no deposit. However, it is not an ideal bonus for new players who want a free bonus credit without any investment. They must make the first deposit up to a certain amount, subject to other terms and conditions. Nevertheless, it gives the customer some time to try online slots. Online casinos offer various types of bonuses including deposit casino bonuses, no-deposit bonuses, reload bonuses, cash-back bonuses, free spin bonuses, welcome bonuses, and more.
