A targeted shooting spree on the Eastern Shore left two women dead and several others wounded in the early hours of July 13, 2026. Investigators say 37-year-old Rebecca Knox of Nassawadox was found at the threshold of a residence with gunshot wounds, transported to a local hospital, and later died; the state medical examiner ruled her death a homicide from multiple gunshot wounds. Authorities have linked the same suspect to a second fatality, 70-year-old Katrina Henriques of Nassawadox.

Police say the suspect, identified as 45-year-old Trevor Claude Henriques, fired at deputies as they responded, striking one deputy’s ballistic vest, and later was involved in gunfire on Parallel Road in Machipongo where officers shot him and took him into custody. He has been charged with multiple counts including two counts of murder, attempted aggravated murder of officers, attempted aggravated second-degree murder, possessing a firearm after a violent felony conviction, attempted murder and using a firearm while committing murder. No motive has been released.

If anyone in Nassawadox, Hare Valley, Birdsnest or Machipongo has information about the shootings or knew Rebecca Knox, please share what you know with investigators.
