In connection with two fatal shootings that took place in Dorchester County on Thursday, December 8, 2022, a few hours apart, a suspect was detained. According to a preliminary investigation, Cambridge Police spotted a man at around 10 p.m. on Friday who matched the description of the suspect sought in the killings of Taijay Brian Daniels, 24, and Lory Eugene Fields, 69, both of Cambridge, Maryland. The individual was later identified as Williams.
Both had been shot and killed on Thursday night. Around 7:15 p.m. on Thursday in the vicinity of Pleasant Street and Race Street, armed robbery was taking place, according to investigators, when Williams allegedly shot Daniels. On Thursday night, about 9 p.m., Fields was slain on the 700 block of High Street. Williams allegedly tried to flee the scene after authorities confronted him as he was breaking into Fields’ car in the 700 block of High Street, according to investigators.
A preliminary investigation indicates that Williams showed a weapon after a brief foot chase. The suspect was then hit by a gunshot from a Cambridge Police officer using a weapon that was part of their official duties. Williams’ non-life-threatening wounds were taken care of at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional Hospital via ambulance. The officer-involved shooting is being investigated by the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit at the request of Cambridge Police.
