Trial postponed for Gaskins murder suspect

A jury trial has been postponed for a man accused of murder in Wicomico County.

According to online court records, the trial for 21-year-old Daquan Dickerson has been postponed until September 26.

The postponement was due to the state's request and the fact that Dickerson waived his right to a speedy trial.

Dickerson is charged in connection with the murder of Keonte Gaskins that happened in May 2016. Investigators believe it was Dickerson who fired the deadly shot that killed Gaskins.

Gaskins body was found in a stairwell at the Village of Mitchell Pond Apartment Complex the morning after he was shot.

Besides murder, Dickerson faces conspiracy, assault, armed robbery, firearm, reckless endangerment and other charges.
