More than thirteen years have passed since a young Wilmington man was found fatally wounded in the Ardentown neighborhood, and investigators are still searching for answers in what has become a cold case homicide.
Twenty-five-year-old Dayvon Neal lost his life on February 15, 2013, in an incident that continues to puzzle law enforcement officials. Police were called to a home on Loreley Lane around 9:33 that evening after receiving reports of trouble at the residence.
When officers arrived at 2311 Loreley Lane in the Ardentown community, they discovered Neal on the ground with serious injuries. The location falls within the 19810 zip code area of Wilmington.
Despite years of investigation, the circumstances surrounding Neal’s death remain unclear, and no arrests have been made in connection with the case. The incident has been classified as a cold case homicide by the New Castle County Police Department.
Authorities continue to encourage anyone with information about the February 2013 incident to come forward, as even small details could prove crucial in solving this long-standing case and bringing closure to Neal’s family and friends.
