New Castle Man Convicted of First-Degree Murder in Deadly Newark Crash

A 23-year-old New Castle resident faces multiple convictions after being found guilty in connection with a deadly collision that claimed one life and left several others injured in Newark during April 2025.

Gordon Turner was found guilty on June 5 of first-degree murder, manslaughter, two charges of first-degree assault, six charges of third-degree assault, two charges of possessing a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony, disregarding a police signal, and reckless endangering.

The convictions stem from the April incident that resulted in the death of one bystander and injuries to multiple other individuals in the Newark area.
