Kamron Michael Lucas was 34 and a father of two when he was shot and killed on the afternoon of October 15, 2022, on Basket Switch Road in Newark, Maryland. Deputies from the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office responded at about 12:20 p.m. and found Lucas with a fatal gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. He was a Newark resident and originally from Salisbury, Maryland, and remembered by family for his bright smile and sense of humor.

The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit identified 18-year-old Boris Wade Connor of Newark as a suspect. Investigators say Lucas and Connor were acquaintances who became involved in an argument that escalated, and that Connor produced a handgun and shot Lucas. Connor was located a short time later driving with another person, stopped after intervention by a Maryland State Police trooper and a Worcester County deputy, and taken into custody without incident. He was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, and multiple firearms offenses, and was being held at the Worcester County Detention Center pending bond review.
