Jessica Thompson, 37, of Frankford, Delaware, was found dead in her home on the afternoon of June 30, 2025, after a welfare check on the 34000 block of Zion Church Road. Delaware State Police report the call came in at about 2:26 p.m.; troopers discovered Thompson with an apparent fatal gunshot wound and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Delaware State Police homicide detectives took over the investigation and publicly identified Thompson on July 2, 2025. Reports say an unanswered check-in over several days prompted the welfare visit that led to her discovery; a separate memorial listing records her as lost to gun violence on June 30, 2025. As of early July 2025 no arrests had been announced and no suspect or suspects had been publicly named.

Detectives asked anyone with information to contact Detective B. McDerby at 302-741-2821 or submit tips through Delaware Crime Stoppers. Does anyone in the Frankford area have information that could help investigators?
