LEONARDTOWN, Md. (January 25, 2018)—Police are seeking the public's help in identifying a young man who seriously wounded another man in early January in Lexington Park.

On Thursday, January 4, 2018, deputies from the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office responded to the 21000 block of Great Mills Road for a report of a shooting.
