Authorities are working to solve a deadly shooting that claimed the life of a teenager in Seaford Thursday evening.<\/p>

Delaware State Police say they received a call about a vehicle crash in the 24000 block of German Road around 8:45 p.m. on May 21, 2026. Upon arrival, officers discovered the car’s driver – a 17-year-old male from Laurel, Delaware – suffering from what appeared to be a gunshot wound. Emergency responders immediately began life-saving measures and transported the teen to a nearby hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries. Authorities are withholding the victim’s name pending family notification.<\/p>

Given the circumstances surrounding the incident, Delaware State Police’s Homicide Unit has taken over the case. Initial findings suggest the teenager was shot by an unidentified gunman near the Concord Pond boat ramp area on German Road.<\/p>

Investigators with the Delaware State Police Homicide Unit are continuing their work on this case. Officials are urging anyone who may have information to reach out to Detective B. McDerby at (302) 741-2821. Tips can also be submitted through private messages to the Delaware State Police Facebook page or by calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) 847-3333.<\/p>

Those affected by crime or sudden loss can access support through the Delaware State Police Victim Services Unit and Delaware Victim Center, which provides around-the-clock assistance via their hotline at 1-800-VICTIM-1 (1-800-842-8461). The Victim Services Unit can also be reached by email at DSP_VictimServicesMail@delaware.gov.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
