Silver Spring Man Arrested in Homicide Near Wheaton Metro

Cardel Chaney, 20, of Silver Spring, was arrested Friday in connection with a shooting death March 4 at 6:47 p.m. at Georgia Avenue and Reedie Drive in Wheaton.

When police arrived at the location, they found 17-year-old Devin Dickey of Silver Spring suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Police provided life-saving measures until Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service arrived on the scene and then transported Dickey to the hospital, where he died.
