Corbin was charged with being an accessory to first-degree murder in the death of 30-year-old Thomas Lane Edwards of Crisfield.

Tabor said the next suspect sought in the case, 19-year-old Barry Jay Bourkel Jr. of Crisfield, was located Tuesday in Salisbury by members of the Maryland State Police Fugitive Task Force. Bourkel was arrested and charged with first- and second-degree murder; first- and second-degree assault; handgun use in a felony; reckless endangerment and deadly weapon with intent to injure.
