Police: Man shot in face by son in Nanjemoy

Charles sheriff's officers arrested a teenager who allegedly shot his father in the face on Memorial Day.

Officers responded on May 27 around 1:30 a.m. to a shooting in the 9100 block of Jessie Lizzy Place in Nanjemoy.

A man was allegedly shot in the face by his 18-year-old son, and the son fled prior to police arrival on the scene, according to Diane Richardson, a spokesperson for the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.

The father was able to call for help and was transported to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

On June 5, officers assigned to the sheriff's office warrant unit and members of the U.S. Marshals Service Capital Area Regional Task Force arrested Tehran Lebrons Butler, 18, of Nanjemoy in connection with the non-fatal shooting.

According to a release sent on June 6, the suspect fled into a wooded area prior to police arrival after the shooting. Officers established a perimeter, but the suspect was not located.

A warrant charging the teenager with attempted murder, first-degree assault and other related charges was issued. Investigators served a search warrant at the house and later located Butler in Bryans Road, according to the sheriff's office.

The sheriff's office put out a release earlier in the week about the incident that said they were searching for a suspect, but did not give any names related to the shooting until after Butler was caught.
