NaQuan McRae, a 27-year-old Black man from New Castle, Delaware, was found with a fatal gunshot wound in the parking lot of a condominium complex on Willow Court in Elkton, Maryland, on the evening of May 15, 2021. Maryland State Police troopers discovered him after reports of shots fired shortly before 5:30 p.m.; he was taken to Christiana Hospital and pronounced dead.

The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit, assisted by the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office, took charge of the investigation. Detectives said they believed McRae had been targeted rather than shot at random, but despite interviewing residents and potential witnesses in the area they were not able to identify a suspect or release a public description.

No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains active. If anyone saw activity around Willow Court that evening or has information about NaQuan McRae’s killing, please contact the Maryland State Police.
