A New Castle County resident will spend the rest of his life behind bars after being sentenced for a fatal shooting that took place in 2024.
Michael R. Toombs, 29, of Claymont received two life sentences plus an additional 30 years in prison during his sentencing hearing on May 21, 2026. The harsh penalty comes after a Superior Court jury found him guilty in October of charges related to the deadly shooting.
The case stems from a 2024 incident that resulted in one person’s death. Toombs was convicted by the jury last fall on the criminal charges.
