On the evening of August 7, 2023, Ty Brooks-Bey, 55, was found in the grass near Blake Street in Easton, Maryland, with gunshot wounds after police responded to a report of a shooting. Despite life-saving efforts by police and paramedics, Brooks-Bey died at the scene.

Investigators say the encounter began with a verbal dispute between Brooks-Bey and occupants of a Range Rover. Brooks-Bey reportedly left the area, returned later armed with a shotgun, and engaged in a second brief verbal confrontation. The driver of the Range Rover then fired through the passenger side window, striking Brooks-Bey. The Range Rover and a Hyundai sedan fled the scene.

Police made several arrests in the weeks after the shooting. On August 17, 22-year-old Daseir A Cornish of Denton — identified as the Range Rover driver — was charged with first-degree murder, assault, reckless endangerment, and firearm use in a violent crime. Raheem Green of Cambridge was charged as an accessory after the fact for allegedly assisting in abandoning the Range Rover and fleeing. In October, 59-year-old Dana Wilson of Easton was arrested on charges including being an accessory after the fact to second-degree murder, altering physical evidence, and obstructing an officer, accused of removing a cell phone from the active crime scene.

If anyone has information about Brooks-Bey, the vehicles involved, or the events that night, please come forward.
