Missing Person 16yo Amani Lee Antonae Munford. Last seen in California, Maryland on 6/8/26.

On Saturday, June 6, 2026, deputies from the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a stolen vehicle. The victim reported that his 2025 Ford Bronco had been stolen from his residence in Lexington Park. Based on GPS tracking data, the vehicle was determined to be in the Loveville area. Deputies later located the Bronco operating near Point Lookout Road and Hollywood Road in Leonardtown and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle fled southbound on Point Lookout Road at a high rate of speed. Deputies pursued the vehicle to the 22000 block of Hanover Drive, where four occupants exited the vehicle and fled on foot. The Bronco was recovered, and no injuries were reported. With assistance from witnesses, deputies located and arrested two juveniles in a nearby wooded area. As deputies continued searching the area, a 911 caller reported that a blue Toyota Camry had picked up two individuals matching the descriptions of the outstanding suspects near where the stolen vehicle had been abandoned. Deputies located the Camry and, following an investigation, determined that two of its occupants were the remaining suspects who fled from the Bronco. One suspect was identified as Deshawn Anthony Carey, 18, of Lexington Park. The second suspect was identified as a juvenile. Carey was transported to the St. Mary's County Detention and Rehabilitation Center and charged with 11 criminal offenses, including unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, theft of property valued at $25,000 or more but less than $100,000, theft of at least $1500 but less than $25,000, four counts of theft of at least $100 but less than $1500, two counts of theft of less than $100, theft of a credit card and willful and malicious destruction of property. The three juveniles were referred to the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services. Due to legal protections, juveniles are not publicly identified by law enforcement agencies.

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month. One way we can all help keep our community safe is by promoting responsible firearm storage. Securely storing firearms helps prevent unauthorized access, reduces the risk of accidental injuries, and can help keep firearms out of the hands of those who should not have them. The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office offers free gun locks to community members. If you would like a gun lock, stop by one of our district stations or Sheriff's Office Headquarters during normal business hours. Safe storage is a simple step that helps protect families, children, and our community. #FirstSheriff
