An employee of the senior care facility where Robert Fuller, 87, was killed has been deemed not competent to stand trial for his murder, I95rocks.com reports.
Maurquise James, 22, of Baltimore, Maryland, worked at the Cogir Potomac Senior Living Facility in Potomac, Maryland, where Maine millionaire Robert Fuller lived.
Fuller was found dead three months ago in his apartment after being shot in the head while he slept.
His roommate told investigators that a med tech had given Fuller his medications on February 13, as always, but returned later to ask if the meds had kicked in, which was not his usual routine, according to reporter Cindy Campbell.
James was employed as a medication technician at the facility at the time of the shooting.
He was facing attempted murder and other charges in late February, after allegedly shooting at a state trooper, when the bullet casings were found to match the gun used to kill Fuller.
WBAL-TV reports a judge in Montgomery County, Maryland, has now ruled James is not competent to stand trial, calling him a danger to society.
The judge ordered him to be held in a psychiatric facility until his next competency hearing in November.
Fuller practiced law in central Maine for more than 35 years and built a reputation as a philanthropist and civic leader.
He was widely known for his generous support of local institutions, including the Lithgow Public Library, Kennebec Valley YMCA, Kennebec Historical Society, Cony High School, and MaineGeneral Medical Center, according to NewsCenter Maine.
Five years ago Fuller donated $1.64 million to modernize Cony High School’s Alumni Field complex in Augusta.
Alongside his wife, he also made one of the first major donations to the Lithgow Public Library’s capital campaign, helping launch renovations to the building’s historic wing.
Fuller was also the author of the 2009 crime novel “Unnatural Deaths.”
In recent years, he had moved to the Washington, D.C., area to be closer to family.
