Keanan Samuels, a 20-year-old college student home for Christmas break from Benedict College, was killed in Wilmington, Delaware, on the night of December 16, 2017. He had been attending a vigil for his friend Barry White when gunfire erupted around 7:45 p.m. near Vandever Avenue and North Locust Street. Reports place Keanan in the area of the 2100 block of North Locust Street or the 800 block of Vandever Avenue when individuals fired into the crowd; he was struck in the neck and face and died later that night at a hospital.

Keanan was the son of Arica Samuels and James Chappell, and his uncle Allen Duffy Samuels founded Duffy’s Hope, a local nonprofit for at-risk youth. Police later characterized the killing as a cold case homicide and said the shooter or shooters remained unidentified. Years after the shooting the Cold Case Unit continued to seek tips from anyone who might know what happened that night.

Did anyone at the vigil or in the neighborhood see anything that could help identify who opened fire?
