A judge was shot and killed outside his home in Hagerstown, Maryland, on Thursday night, and a manhunt is underway for a suspect whose divorce case was overseen by the victim.The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is searching for 49-year-old Pedro Argote, who is considered armed and dangerous.
Wilkinson was shot multiple times in his driveway at about 8 p.m. Thursday. His wife and son were inside their home at the time of the shooting, Albert said.Argote is 5-foot-7 and 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He may be driving a silver 2009 Mercedes GL450 with Maryland plates 4EH0408, the sheriff's office said.
Albert said deputies had responded to the couple's home twice in the past"few years" for verbal domestic assaults. Court records show Argote was named in a domestic violence petition in June 2022. It was dismissed at the request of the person who asked for it. "We don't feel that there's any threat currently to the other judges in the county or the state," Albert said.
