Devin Allen Miles, 23 of Lexington Park
On July 5, 2026, at approximately 9:22 p.m., deputies from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Solomons Island Gazebo for a reported fight involving multiple individuals. Due to the rescheduled Solomons fireworks display, a large crowd was gathered in the area. While deputies were responding, the Calvert County Control Center received additional information indicating that an individual armed with a knife had stabbed another person.
Because of the fireworks event, the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office had a significant law enforcement presence in Solomons. Deputies arrived on scene and located the juvenile victim, and immediately began providing life-saving medical care. The victim had sustained multiple stab wounds and was subsequently flown by Maryland State Police Aviation Command to a local trauma center for injuries received.
Through the rapid response and coordinated efforts of deputies on scene, detectives quickly identified the suspect. The suspect, later identified as Devin Allen Miles, 23 of Lexington Park, was located while attempting to flee the area. Miles was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Calvert County Detention Center. Miles was charged with Attempted First-Degree Murder, First-Degree Assault, and Second-Degree Assault.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has additional information is asked to contact Detective W. Freeland of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Bureau at [email protected].
