WILLIAMSPORT, Md. — The body of the man wanted in connection with the murder of a Maryland judge was found Thursday.
Pedro Argote
Authorities said the body of Pedro Manuel Argote, 49, of Frederick, Md., was located near Williamsport, Maryland, not far from West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle.
Argote was wanted in connection with the Oct. 19 shooting death of Judge Andrew Wilkinson.
Wilkinson was gunned down in his driveway not long after he ruled against Argote in a divorce proceeding.
According to a Facebook post from authorities, Argote’s body was found in a “heavily wooded area between Clear Spring Road and Bottom Road.”
