The accused is identified as Daequan M. White, 19, of the 1000-block of Cecil Street in Salisbury. White is charged with first and second degree murder, first degree burglary, home invasion, armed robbery, first degree assault, use of firearm in commission of a violent crime/felony, possession of a firearm by a minor, along with several other charges. White is currently being held without bond at the Wicomico County Detention Center.
Early yesterday morning, investigators from the Maryland State Apprehension Team located White at the home of a relative in Salisbury. White was arrested without incident and transported to the Salisbury Police Department for processing.
White was arrested in connection with the murder of James L. H. Skinner, 20, of the 1000-block of Bryn Mawr Avenue in Salisbury, where he had been living for the past two months with a friend of his family and her three teenaged children.
Around 3:30 a.m. on May 17, 2015, Skinner was found lying in the doorway of his residence when police responded to an emergency call at the home. An autopsy report indicated the cause of Skinner’s death was by gunshot.
The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit responded to conduct the investigation. Investigators from the Salisbury Police Department, Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office, and State Police Criminal Enforcement Division assisted with the investigation and continue to follow up on leads, examine forensic evidence, and conduct interviews. A motive for White’s actions has not yet been identified.
Police are still searching for additional suspects. Investigators urge anyone with information about this murder to contact Crime Solvers of the Lower Eastern Shore immediately at 410-548-1776. Crime Solvers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the indictment of the person(s) responsible for this crime. Callers may remain confidential.
Charged as a minor for the gun? I'd say prohibited. Nothing about this guy is a minor. He's frown and not prohibited to own a gun yet.

No it's not "stupid and ignorant" at all. Blacks always have an excuse for the thugs among them. Nothing for them to do, not enough recreation centers, schools are not educating them properly, not enough mentoring programs and on and on. The excuses are endless, absolutely endless. No sense of personal responsibility in an overwhelming number of the race. The "parents" always looking for the government to raise their children. The youth are frustrated, they are misunderstood excuses. Those excuses are what are "stupid and ignorant."
Good going, LEO! This one needed solving badly.
ReplyDelete8:23 Absolutely correct. They are constantly looking to whitey to take care of them, to fix what's wrong with them and to look the other way as they destroy themselves.
ReplyDelete11:55-Agreed;if we all packed up and left the country they would starve.
ReplyDeleteGreat work police. No can we get a conviction is the question. It has become increasingly challenging to convict in Black on Black violence. The police did a outstanding job here. It is now up to the State's Attorney's Office to finish. Good luck all you will need it in Slumsbury.
