Victims Identified In Apparent Murder Suicide In Somerset Co.

July 6, 2022

(PRINCESS ANNE, MD) — Maryland State Police have identified two victims in an apparent murder and suicide last night in Somerset County.

The victims are identified as Richard Cantwell, III, 35, and Michael Jarman, 61, of Princess Anne.  Both victims were pronounced deceased inside their home by emergency medical service personnel. Cantwell and Jarman have been transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for autopsy.

The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit leads the investigation.  Investigators know Cantwell to be Jarman’s stepson. Both men lived in the residence along with Cantwell’s mother.
