Cambridge, MD - On April 10, 2026, at approximately 8:00 p.m., officers from the Cambridge Police Department (CPD) were patrolling the 1000 block of Cosby Avenue during an unsanctioned pop-up event. Officers had received prior intelligence from the Laurel Police Department in Delaware regarding a 16-year-old male wanted in connection with a recent shooting.

The Laurel Police Department had advised that the suspect might be in the Cambridge area and provided a physical description.

While monitoring the crowd, officers observed a juvenile matching the description entering a convenience store on Cosby Avenue. Additional CPD officers responded to the scene.

The juvenile was transported to the CPD for processing. He is currently being held at the Dorchester County Department of Corrections without bond on the Delaware warrant, where he is charged as a fugitive from justice.

On April 12, 2026, the suspect was served with additional local charges.
