CAMBRIDGE, MD – Cambridge police are looking for Demetrice D. Demby, of 706 Douglas Street in Cambridge, after Demby drove his truck at an officer and two police officers opened fire on Demby as he left the scene.  This is the second officer-involved shooting in Cambridge in the last three weeks.

Shortly before 12:30 a.m., two Cambridge police officers stopped a 1995 Chevrolet truck for a traffic violation on Leonards Lane. Police requested a K-9 unit to come scan the truck for drugs.

During the search, Demby allegedly accelerated the truck and drove at one of the officers in front of the truck. That officer fired his department-issued .40-caliber Glock at Demby, police said.

A second officer also fired his pistol at Demby, police said.

The officer in front of the truck dove as it passed, and sustained injuries. Police do not know whether the officer sustained injuries from the truck or the fall, or both.

Police pursued, but lost, Demby. A short time later, police found the truck abandoned on Muir Street. The truck had damage consistent with gunshots and investigators saw what appeared to be blood inside. Police do not know if that is Demby’s blood, or if he was injured from a shot fired by police.

The injured officer needed medical treatment for injuries to his arms and legs, including a broken ankle. The other officer was not injured. Two other Cambridge police officers on the scene did not fire their weapons and were not injured.

The Maryland State Police are conducting an investigation of the shooting.
