    On June 7, 2025, at approximately 1:19 p.m., troopers responded to a boat ramp at Canterbury Road and Waterside Drive in Felton, for a report of a shooting. When troopers arrived, they learned that the victim was returning to her car with her daughter when she was involved in an argument with an unknown white male and an unknown white female in a tan sedan. After the argument, the male suspect pointed a black handgun at the victims, and possibly fired an unknown number of shots as the victims drove away from the boat ramp.

    Later in the day, at approximately 5:17 p.m., troopers responded to Strawberry Drive and Orange Street in Magnolia, for a report of a disorderly person. When troopers arrived, they learned that an unknown white male suspect in a light-colored Ford Focus was arguing with a male victim walking down the street.
