INFO ON YESTERDAY'S INCIDENT IN ACCOMAC:

According to W. Todd Wessells, the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office received a call at 1:19 p.m. reporting that a Black male, shirtless and with tattoos on his arm, was seen entering the location carrying an AR-15-style rifle, after which 3–4 gunshots were immediately heard.

Upon deputies’ arrival, a Black male identified as Tyler Malik Bynum immediately fled from the residence. Deputies were unable to confirm if Bynum was in possession of the reported firearm. Deputies pursued on foot and requested K-9 assistance. A perimeter was established as deputies and K-9 units began tracking.

Bynum was known to the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office to have active felony warrants related to voter fraud and to be a violent convicted felon.

At 3:57 p.m., K-9 deputies advised that one suspect was in custody and requested emergency medical services for Bynum, who sustained K-9 bite injuries while continuing to flee and physically assault the K-9. Bynum was transported to Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Bynum, 20, of Accomac, was taken into custody for three felony counts of voter fraud. Additional charges were obtained for attempted killing or injuring of a police animal and obstruction. Bynum is currently held in the Accomack County Jail with bond denied.

After further investigation it was discovered that the call to the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office initiating the response for an active shooter at the location was false. Deputies identified Malik Lee Jones, 19, of Tasley, as the individual who made the call. Jones was charged with one felony count of making a False Emergency Communication to Emergency Personnel Resulting in Injury. Jones is currently held in the Accomack County Jail with bond denied.

The Accomack County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Virginia State Police, the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office, and the Accomack County Department of Public Safety.

Anyone with information related to this incident or other criminal activity is encouraged to contact the Accomack County Sheriff’s Office at (757) 787-1131 or (757) 824-5666.
