Bushwood resident Tavion Kelly Sommerville was arrested on an open warrant for his role in the murder of Day on Thursday, April 4, 2023.
Officers from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office were called shortly after 10:30 p.m. on the night of the shooting to the Great Mills Sheetz in the 20700 block of Old Great Mills Road to investigate a reported shooting, though upon arrival no victim was initially located.
Shortly thereafter, officials say that deputies responded to MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital in Leonardtown, where they found Day suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
The 26-year-old Leonardtown resident was later pronounced dead at the hospital, according to the sheriffs office.
Sommerville was charged with first-degree murder, firearm use during a violent crime, and other related charges. He is being held at the St. Mary's County Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Leonardtown.
A 15-year-old boy from Lexington Park and 19-year-old James Jerome Adams, Jr. have also been arrested for their alleged roles in the fatal shooting, which remains under investigation.
No motive for the shooting has been released by the sheriff's office.
