Frederick Tolson, a 42-year-old Black man described as a barber and family man, was fatally shot on the night of December 14, 2023, in Dover, Delaware. Police say the shooting occurred about 8:45 p.m. on the unit block of Ann Avenue when gunfire struck two people in front of the same home; a 59-year-old male relative was also wounded and both were taken to Bayhealth Kent Campus, where Tolson died.

Investigators linked Tolson’s killing to two other ambush-style shootings earlier in December, in which men were struck while in public and appeared to have no known dispute with the shooter. Police reported the attacker targeted victims from concealed positions at significant distances. Within 24 hours, authorities identified a suspect and executed a search warrant at his home on December 15, 2023, taking him into custody. Charges announced later included first-degree murder for Tolson and attempted murder and firearm offenses related to the other shootings.

Does anyone have information about Tolson’s life in Dover or about the incidents on Ann Avenue that could help investigators?
