CAMBRIDGE, Md. - A 15-year-old boy has been charged as an adult in the death of a Seaford man earlier this week in Cambridge.
On June 8 at approximately 8:33 p.m., officers from the Cambridge Police Department responded to the 900 block of Camelia Street for a report of a shooting. Police said they found Alyson Elien, 23, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. Despite life-saving efforts by officers, Dorchester County EMS and hospital staff, Elien was pronounced dead at the University of Maryland Shore Medical Center at Cambridge.
Investigators later identified the accused shooter as Jakai Wilson, a 15-year-old boy from Cambridge. He has been charged as an adult and was arrested without incident on June 10 after officers located him in the back seat of a car during a traffic stop on Feather Drive at Stone Boundary.
