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."
