Delaware Man Charged In Maryland Shooting

An incident that occurred in July of 2023 has led to the arrest and subsequent charges against Tehron Duran West, a 39-year-old Delaware man.

Officials said Easton, Maryland Police Officers were dispatched to Lynbrook Court just after midnight following reports of a carjacking. During their response, they were informed of shots being fired in the area.

Upon arrival at the scene, police found a female victim with two bullet holes in the driver’s side door of her vehicle. The victim reported that she had been in an argument with West, who had been drinking.

She was attempting to prevent him from driving intoxicated. During the confrontation, West entered the woman’s car, brandished a handgun, and shot at least twice at her while she was in her second vehicle, according to police. The woman was not struck.

Virginia State Police later apprehended West in Accomack County, in the stolen vehicle, according to police.

On Monday, West was extradited from Virginia back to Talbot County, where he faces multiple charges including attempted second-degree murder.
