Nine years after a deadly shooting claimed two lives at a Newark apartment complex, investigators are still working to solve the double homicide that shocked the local community.
La’Hmeer Carter, age 20, and Brian Eller, age 32, were both fatally shot on January 12, 2015, at the Vinings at Christiana Apartments located on Vinings Way in Newark.
New Castle County Police officers arrived at the apartment complex at around 7:18 that evening after receiving reports of the shooting. The incident occurred in the 19702 zip code area of Newark.
Despite nearly a decade passing since the tragic event, the case remains open as detectives continue their investigation into what led to the deaths of both men that winter evening.
The double homicide represents one of the ongoing cold cases that local law enforcement continues to pursue, hoping that new information or evidence might eventually lead to answers for the families of both victims.
Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact the New Castle County Police Department as investigators remain committed to finding justice for Carter and Eller.
