Jose Noel Duran Lopez, 28, was killed in Wilmington, Delaware, in the early hours of August 31, 2024. Police were called just after 1:45 a.m. to the 100 block of South West Street near the Barclays building and a Riverfront restaurant after reports of a shooting. Officers found Duran-Lopez badly wounded with multiple gunshot wounds; emergency responders began life-saving efforts and rushed him to a hospital, where he later died.

A second person at the scene suffered lacerations to the head; authorities did not immediately explain that person’s connection to the shooting or their condition. Police described the case as an active investigation but did not name any suspect or announce arrests, and reports did not identify a motive. His death was counted as Wilmington’s 10th fatal shooting of the year at that time. Funeral notices gave his full name and listed services in early September 2024, including a viewing in Wilmington and a Mass of Christian Burial in Avondale, Pennsylvania.

Did anyone see activity near the Riverfront around 1:45 a.m. on August 31 that could help investigators?
