Taylor Capri German, 26, was killed by gunfire on the night of September 10, 2023, after shots were fired into a vehicle near the Little Creek Apartments in Laurel, Delaware. Officers arrived about 9:35 p.m. and found her seated inside the vehicle with gunshot wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people in the vehicle — a 41-year-old man and a third person — were also struck; the 41-year-old was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and later released.

Delaware State Police identified German and said the investigation was turned over to the state homicide unit. Her obituary described her as born August 13, 1997, in Seaford, Delaware, the daughter of Tammey German and the late Luther Stanford, and remembered her as outgoing and close to family. In mid-February 2024 a Sussex County grand jury indicted 19-year-old Azzure Horsey of Laurel; Horsey was arrested February 14 and charged with first-degree murder and multiple related counts and held on cash bond. Authorities continue to call this an active homicide investigation.

If anyone has information about who fired into the vehicle that night, please contact Detective A. Bluto or Delaware Crime Stoppers.
