Murder charges filed against suspect in Elkton shooting
ELKTON — Investigators have filed murder charges against a man who allegedly gunned down a family friend in an Elkton neighborhood during the early-morning hours of Oct. 16, according to the Elkton Police Department. Lt. Ronald Odom, an EPD detective and agency spokesman, identified the suspect as 23-year-old Leshawn Stanley who, at the time of the fatal shooting, was living at his mother’s residence in the 100 block of Danford Drive in the Delancy Village townhouse community while she was staying at her sister’s area apartment, police reported. The victim - Keeran Angol, 29, of New Castle, Del. — was a family friend of the alleged shooter, police said. At the time of the fatal shooting, Angol had been doing some construction work at Stanley’s mother’s Danford Drive residence, police added. As of Monday, a motive for the murder remained unclear, according to Odom, who further reported that investigators heard a few possible reasons for the fatal shooting while interviewing people. “It could have been over drug money. It could have been over a vehicle. It could have had something to do with the construction work that the victim had been doing at the residence on Danford Drive,” Odom outlined.
