New Castle County Police continue their investigation into a fatal shooting that claimed the life of a 46-year-old man more than a decade ago in Newark.
Ruben Maldonado was killed on May 7, 2013, at the Cedar Wood Apartments located at 758 Christiana Road. Police officers arrived at the scene around 11:14 p.m. that Tuesday evening after receiving reports of gunfire in the apartment complex.
When officers reached the location, they found Maldonado, who had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. Despite years of investigation, the case remains unsolved and is classified as a cold case homicide.
The New Castle County Police Department continues to seek information from the public that could help solve this case. Anyone with knowledge about the circumstances surrounding Maldonado’s death is encouraged to contact investigators.
This case represents one of several unsolved homicides that local law enforcement continues to actively investigate, hoping that new information or advances in investigative techniques might provide the breakthrough needed to bring closure to the victim’s family.
