CAMBRIDGE, Md. - A 23-year-old man from Seaford, was shot and killed Sunday evening in Cambridge, and police say the search is underway for the accused shooter and several potential accomplices.

According to the Cambridge Police Department, officers and detectives responded to the 900 block of Camelia Street around 8:33 p.m. on June 8 after receiving a report of a shooting. When officers arrived, they found Alyson Elien lying outside of a car in a driveway with a gunshot wound to the head.

Officers attempted life-saving measures until Dorchester County EMS arrived and transported Elien to the University of Maryland Shore Medical Center at Cambridge. Elien was pronounced dead at the hospital.

A handgun and additional evidence were recovered at the scene. Through the use of nearby camera systems, detectives identified a suspect.
