Roberto Fuentes, 31, was shot and killed while seated in a parked Nissan Altima in the 600 block of Island Avenue in Wilmington on March 24, 2018. The shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. when an unknown assailant approached the vehicle and fired multiple shots into the car. Fuentes was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival; the other occupant of the vehicle was unharmed.

No arrests have been announced and the motive remains unclear. Detectives continue to investigate the case. A separate, unrelated criminal case involves a different man named Roberto Fuentes who was charged and convicted in a 2015 firebombing; that matter is not connected to this 2018 Wilmington killing.

Was anyone in Wilmington that night aware of activity on Island Avenue around 1:30 a.m. that could help investigators?
