Randy Derrick Bolden, 54, of Seaford, Delaware, was shot inside a home in Dover on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. Officers were called at about 10:26 a.m. to the 400 block of River Road in the Capital Green area for reports of shots fired from inside a residence. Bolden was found inside with an upper-body gunshot wound, was treated on scene and taken to Bayhealth Kent Campus, where he was later pronounced dead.

Police say Bolden and a 17-year-old Dover male were involved in a verbal and physical altercation inside the residence before the teen obtained a firearm and shot Bolden. The juvenile left the home before officers arrived but turned himself in at the Dover Police Department about 1:30 p.m. He was charged with first-degree murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a person prohibited, and held at Stevenson House Detention Center on $535,000 cash bail.
