Council Member Wanika Fisher Issues Statement on Shooting of Chef Tobias Dorzon:

“I am disheartened and saddened by the news that Prince George’s County restaurant owner Tobias Dorzon was one of two people shot during an attempted robbery Tuesday night in my district. 

Chef Dorzon owns two amazing restaurants in Hyattsville, is a valued member of the District 2 community, and my dear friend. Such a horrible act couldn’t have happened to a better person. I am sending my deepest sympathies to him and the second victim, as well as their families and friends, and I wish them both a speedy recovery. We have no place for this kind of senseless violence in our district or our county.

Earlier this year, I had the honor of recognizing Chef Dorzon with a proclamation after he was named the 2024 Chef of the Year by the Restaurant Association of Maryland, the first chef from Prince George’s County to receive the award. He is an extremely talented chef who has represented our county on the national stage while appearing on several Food Network programs. 

I want to see those responsible for this heinous act held accountable to the fullest extent of the law, and I look forward to seeing Chef Dorzon back in the kitchen soon.”
