On April 29, 2016, 45-year-old Floyd Cain Jr. was shot outside the Prospect Heights apartments on Gold Rush Lane in Hurlock, Maryland, after an argument with a 33-year-old man identified as Brandon D. Milton. According to reports from that afternoon, the dispute turned physical when Cain allegedly struck Milton with a wooden object; Milton then produced a handgun and shot Cain at least twice.

Cain was taken to a hospital in Seaford, Delaware, with multiple gunshot wounds and later died from his injuries. The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit took charge of the investigation, and an immediate search led to the arrest of Milton the following day in Cambridge. Milton was charged in connection with Cain’s death and was held for proceedings in Dorchester County.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting outside Prospect Heights or who has information about the events leading up to that afternoon is asked to come forward.
