Wilkinson had granted custody to the mother in the case involving Argote.
This incident highlights the gun control measures in Maryland, which include an assault weapons ban and other regulations.
Sheriff Brian K. Albert said, “The victim was suffering from what appeared to be gunshot wounds.”
“He was transported to Meritus Medical Center, where he later succumbed to his injuries.”
Maryland has an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, universal background checks, a red flag law, “ghost gun” regulations, a permit-to-purchase for handguns, and other controls that Democrats at the federal level want for the entire nation.
There is a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of Pedro Argote who is accused of killing Judge Andrew Wilkinson outside his Maryland home. It is believed Argote retaliated after losing custody of his children to his ex-wife. Argote is pictured on the right. pic.twitter.com/l6VT1uRFw1
