Downtown Salisbury stabbing is first homicide of the year
Maryland State Police were continuing their search for the suspect in an early morning homicide in a parking lot on West Market Street in Salisbury.
Riley Lee Collick, 44, of Fruitland, is wanted for first-degree murder in the death of Alejandro Roland Exantus, 32, of Laurel, police said.
It is the first homicide in the city this year, said Mayor Jake Day. The last time a murder was committed in Salisbury was in October 2021 when Emanual Jones, 42, died of gunshot wounds in a house on Martin Street.
In Sunday’s incident, officers from the Salisbury Police Department responded to a city lot in the 100 block of West Market Street for a report of a stabbing shortly before 12:45 a.m. Sunday, police said.

Homicides in Salisbury are fairly rare, Mayor Day said. The city has even had a few years with zero murders, including 2019, 2016 and 2015.
