Man arrested for pair of Thursday slayings in Cambridge

Tramelle Lamar Williams

CAMBRIDGE, Md. – A suspect is behind bars after being linked to two fatal shootings in Cambridge.

Around 10 p.m. on Friday, Cambridge Police located Tramelle Lamar Williams, accused to shooting and killing 24-year-old Taijay Brian Daniels and 69-year-old Lory Eugene Fields of Cambridge. Police say both victims were killed on Thursday evening.

Investigators believe Williams shot Daniels during an armed robbery in the area of Pleasant Street and Race Street. Williams killed Fields later that same night in the 700 block of High Street, police say.

When officers tried to approach Williams, they say he tried to break into Fields’ vehicle and flee. After a short foot chase, Williams brandished a handgun, say police. A Cambridge Police officer fired at Williams and hit him. Williams was taken to TidalHealth Peninsula Regional Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Maryland State Police at 410-819-4747.
