A midday shooting on Dryden Lane in Princess Anne, Maryland, left 46-year-old Derrick Knox dead and another man critically wounded on January 26, 2026. Law enforcement found Knox and 41-year-old Kevin Pillar inside a Kia Seltos SUV around 2 p.m.; emergency responders pronounced Knox dead at the scene and an autopsy ruled his death a homicide from a gunshot wound. Pillar was airlifted to a shock trauma center with critical injuries.

The Somerset County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation and requested assistance from the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit. Within a day two juveniles from Salisbury — a 17-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy — were arrested and charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, robbery and related offenses. Investigators say others may have been involved and have offered a reward of up to $1,000 for tips leading to arrest and conviction.
