Kamal Raheem Paddy, 35, was found dead inside a car on the shoulder near Sharon Hill Road and Cahoon Branch Road on the morning of April 20, 2025. Troopers were called just after 7:28 a.m. and discovered two occupants with apparent gunshot wounds; both were pronounced dead at the scene. The second victim was later identified as 33-year-old Brittani Hollis of Dover. Authorities said Hollis and Paddy were in a domestic relationship, and the Delaware State Police quickly classified the matter as a homicide investigation.

The scene was a parked vehicle on a quiet stretch just outside Dover city limits. Investigators told the public there was no ongoing threat to community safety, but provided few details about motive or how events unfolded. The Homicide Unit appealed for tips and released no suspect descriptions in the days after the discovery. If anyone has information about the couple’s final hours or was in the area that morning, please contact the Delaware State Police Homicide Unit.
