Rashod Faison was a 15-year-old Black male from New Castle, Delaware, who was shot and killed inside a residence on the evening of February 10, 2023. Officers were called to the unit block of Deen Street in the Hampton Green Townhouses at about 5:58 p.m.; inside the home they found Rashod suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body, and he died from those injuries. Memorial listings give his full name as Rashod Troy Faison, born January 2, 2008, and deceased February 10, 2023.

Police reported a 16-year-old suspect was apprehended near the scene shortly after the shooting and was charged with manslaughter, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a person under 21. Because the suspect is a juvenile, law-enforcement releases did not identify that person. Authorities did not describe a motive, the relationship between Rashod and the suspect, or the exact circumstances that led to the gunfire; the Criminal Investigations Unit described the case as active and investigators asked for tips.

If anyone has information about what happened inside the residence that evening or knew Rashod, please contact the New Castle County Division of Police.
