GAITHERSBURG, Md. — A 19-year-old man is charged with murder for his alleged role in a deadly shooting on Father's Day in Montgomery County. Police are still searching for the teen that pulled the trigger. 

Detectives arrested Khamani Imes on Tuesday for supposedly giving a gun to 16-year-old Isaiah Brown-Hawkins that was used in the shooting death of 33-year-old James Joel Austin on Sunday, June 18.
