On September 29, 2017, after a three day jury trial, Daquan Cartier Dickerson, age 21, of Salisbury, was convicted by a Wicomico County Jury of Murder 2nd Degree, Conspiracy, Handgun Use in a Felony, and related offenses. An investigation conducted by the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit in conjunction with the Salisbury Police Department revealed that just after midnight on May 10, 2016, along with two other codefendants, Joshua Perry and Gerald Savage, Dickerson shot and killed an adult victim in the stairwell of the Waterside Apartments. The shooting was captured on video surveillance and showed Dickerson and Perry covertly walk behind the apartment complex and begin to shoot as soon as they saw the victim in the stairwell. Dickerson shot multiple rounds into the stairwell area, at least five of them striking the victim and many others entering surrounding apartments.
On January 9, 2018, Daquan Dickerson was sentenced to serve 100 years active incarceration in the Division of Corrections. Dickerson received the maximum sentence on Murder 2nd degree and many related counts.

Foy, for their work in the investigation and prosecution of this case. Ms. Dykes also thanked Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Kristen Schultz and Senior Assistant State’s Attorney Karen Dean who prosecuted the case.

Amazing he didn't get the usual BS of 100 years, all but 85 suspended, this is the regular sentence in Wacko county.
ReplyDeleteThank you State's Attorneys.
