In the early morning hours of November 2, 2024, a gathering at a home on Chestnut Drive in Elkton, Maryland, turned deadly when an argument inside moved outside and gunfire erupted into the crowd. Twenty-six-year-old Tamir Rasheek Davis of New Castle, Delaware, was shot and later transported by private vehicle to Christiana Hospital, where he died of his injuries. The shooting struck multiple people; a second man, 26-year-old Darius Anthony Blalock, was found dead on the side of southbound I-95, and two other individuals — a man and a woman — were wounded but survived.

The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit continues to investigate. If anyone was at the gathering on Chestnut Drive or saw activity in the area around 6:00 a.m. on November 2, contact investigators with information.
