Cecil County teen charged in Newark shooting that injured seven
NEWARK, Del. – A Cecil County teen is among two people who were arrested and charged in the Halloween night shooting that injured seven people on Newark's Main Street. On Friday, police arrested a 17-year-old boy from North East at his residence, and he remains at a juvenile detention facility in Baltimore awaiting extradition to Delaware. On Monday morning, the second suspect, an 18-year-old man from Wilmington, was apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Service in Wilmington. He is awaiting arraignment. Both have been indicted on seven counts of first-degree attempted murder, as well as possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, conspiracy, reckless endangering and carrying a concealed weapon. The 17-year-old is also charged with possession of a firearm by a person under 21. "While we've made substantial progress in identifying those believed to be responsible, we still have a lot of questions to answer," Newark Police Chief Mark Farrall said during a press conference Monday afternoon. "Our investigators continue to work to determine what precipitated this incident, the sequence of events that unfolded, and whether or not any other additional individuals are involved." As previously announced, police also arrested one of the victims, a 16-year-old Wilmington

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.
