Four days after he was shot on Christmas Eve, 14-year-old Juwan Walker Jr. died of injuries sustained in a drive-by attack in Dover, Delaware. On the evening of December 24, 2024, Juwan was sitting in a parked car on Willis Road at about 6:50 p.m. when two males approached and one fired multiple shots into the vehicle, striking him in the upper body. A private vehicle took him to Bayhealth Kent Campus and he was later flown to Nemours Children’s Hospital, where he died on December 27, 2024.

Juwan’s family remembered him as a lively, kind boy who liked church, the outdoors, and ran a small leaf-raking business; he became an organ donor and helped at least four others after his death. Two juvenile suspects from Dover — a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old — were arrested and charged on December 28, 2024. On August 13, 2026, a 16-year-old in Pennsylvania was taken into custody on a warrant charging him in the case; proceedings against all three juveniles were pending.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Dover Police Department or Delaware Crime Stoppers.
