(PRINCESS ANNE, MD) – A search is underway for a suspect as Maryland State Police continue their investigation into the murder of a Somerset County man who was shot early this morning in Princess Anne, Md.
The victim is identified as Earl Thomas Marshall, 3rd, 32, of the 12,000-block of Chestnut Circle in Princess Anne, Md. EMS personnel pronounced Marshall deceased at the scene. His body has been transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy.
Shortly before 1:00 a.m. this morning, officers from the Princess Anne Police Department responded to 911 calls reporting shots fired at a residence in the 12,000 block of Chestnut Circle. Responding officers found the front door of the home open and the victim lying just inside the door with an apparent gunshot wound.
The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit was requested to respond and take the lead on this investigation. Additional assistance is being provided by State Police Criminal Enforcement Division investigators, as well as officers from the Princess Anne Police Department. State Police crime scene technicians processed the shooting scene. The Somerset County State’s Attorney also responded to the scene and assisted investigators throughout the night.
The preliminary investigation indicates that Marshall returned home after midnight last night. Ten minutes later, there was a knock at his door. Once Marshall opened the door, a confrontation occurred between Marshall and the suspect. Moments later, the shooting occurred and the suspect, believed to be a man in dark clothing, fled the scene. Police have not yet determined the motive in this case.
Investigators have been interviewing witnesses and residents in the area throughout the day. Crime scene evidence has been transported to the State Police Forensic Sciences Division crime laboratory for analysis.
Anyone with information about the murder is urged to contact Crime Solvers of the Lower Eastern Shore at 410-548-1776. A reward of up to $1,000 is offered to anyone with information that leads to the apprehension of the individual responsible for the murder of Earl Thomas Marshall, 3rd. Callers may remain anonymous.
motive - umm Drugs - seriously.
ReplyDeleteYeah another drug homicide. Animals kill animals. Lives do matter for those that live within law and order. May the animals carry on killing their kind.
ReplyDeleteIt’s amazing how many dumb asses will open a knock at the door late at night. So....
ReplyDelete1) The dead guy knew the shooter
Or
2) Dead Guy was a total dumb ass and opens doors for randoms at night
Piss off your dealer get the gun
ReplyDeleteWonder what drug is was that ended up killing him by gun shot
ReplyDeleteLook the victim up on judicial search. 2 page long history.
ReplyDeleteI get where your saying VICTIM bc usually people who get shot are but with that rap sheet he more than less asked for this to happen eventually. We can save the Victim cry for his family when they say how great he was
DeleteI don't answer the door at night. One time the cops knocked on my door. I didn't answer. I called them and asked them what they wanted. They had the wrong address.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbors take out ends up my house all the time. One of these days I am going to accept it and eat it.
I don’t know if people just lack common sense but with all the technology out there if someone you knew was showing up at your house late they will find a way to let you know!
DeleteNow if their phone is dead I would hope the person has enough sense to knock on the door and announce themselves prior to the door being opened. There’s really no excuse!
Now granted I’m almost positive they knew each other. Someone mad someone mad. Maybe they were at the new hangout in Princess Anne M Street there’s always the smell of weed, and some loud people there anymore since they opened. The killer could of followed him home. WHO KNOWS the only person who knows is in a body bag and the other is hiding
Oh wanna be thugs eliminating each other one at a time!
ReplyDeleteBut....everyone say it with me....Black Lives Matter.
ReplyDeleteTo all the bad asses that say they have guns so go ahead and knock on my door at night (I’m pro gun btw love guns)
ReplyDelete1) Your gonna get trigger happy and shoot a loved one it happens
2) In That situation you better hope your the one pulling the trigger first. Don’t show a gun unless you plan on using it which brings me back to the first idea.
You don’t know what you would do in these situations. Panic kicks in and takes over. It’s easy for anyone not in that situation to say that’s how I would handle it and that person would be sorry. You just don’t know!!
Didn't Earl Thomas used to sing country music?

ReplyDeleteEarl Thomas Conley. :)
ANOTHER SHOOTING IN SALISBURY
ReplyDeleteMay 7, 2018 @ 2:40 AM
It's 2:40 AM and Station 1 and Paramedic 1 is being dispatched for a shooting at 218 Hall Drive. Reported that SPD is on the scene and the scene is secure
Paramedic 1 advises Responding at 2:41 AM
Truck 2 advises Responding at 2:43 AM
Central tells Paramedic A-1 to Contact the office public service please(don't know what the secret is that they can't say it over the air.)
Another shooting in Salisbury. I guess Jake Day is going to have this one classified as an "Assault" again. Can't have the Foke Festivus Peoples find out that Salisbury is the most crime-ridden small town in the Country.
Paramedic 1 advises on location at 2:47 AM.
Truck 1 advises on location 121 A has command at 2:47 AM
Took them long enough to get there and Paramedic 1 had a 2-minute jump on the Truck with the sleepy head Firemen. What's up with that?
Hall Drive Command advises to Central under Control. Central advise PRMC that we have a 6-year-old trauma Priority 1 @ 2:56 AM. Sounds like he said 6 year old? WTH is up with a 6-year-old getting shot?
Paramedic A-1 advises Transporting and upgrading staffing to 4 at 3:00 AM. Thirteen minutes on scene with a shooting is extremely way too long. If they have 4 people in that ambulance there is no reason that one person could drive and the other 3 work on the patient. They aren't doing surgery so there isn't any reason this wasn't a Load and Go scenario. That is basic trauma life support. Stay and play isn't an option when you have a shooting, especially if it is a 6-year-old. The only treatment required is a backboard, oxygen, IV, and attach to the heart monitor. Why couldn't they do that en route to the hospital and allow that patient to have at least 5 more minutes for real doctors to save the patients life?
Hall Drive Command advises Truck 1 is en route to the hospital unavailable at 3:02 AM
Paramedic A-1 advises they are arriving at PRMC at 3:05 AM. That was a 5 minute ETA to the hospital.
Truck 1 advises they are arriving at PRMC at 3:05 AM. That was a 3 minute ETA to the hospital.
Paramedic 1 gets to the hospital in 5 minutes and Truck 1 gets there in 3 minutes?? WTH is up with that?? Truck 1 is supposed to drive to the hospital without lights and siren and follow all rules of the road. Paramedic 1 is required to respond to the hospital with lights and siren because it is a priority 1 patient and it takes them 5 minutes and Truck 1 gets to the hospital in 3 minutes and they should have been driving the speed limit?? Those are the facts, ladies and gentleman. I am working at another station and wide awake and documenting this call. Something is wrong with this picture!!
This is why Salisbury needs another Fire Chief that has real EMS experience. Maybe it's time to hire outside the department again!
