Brenden Harmon, 22, of Felton, Delaware, was killed in the early morning hours of October 10, 2021, after shots were fired into a group standing outside a house party in Dover. The gathering was at a residence in the 1500 block of Nathaniel Mitchell Road; later materials name the location as 1573 Nathaniel Mitchell Road. Troopers were dispatched about 1:03 a.m. and found five people shot. All five were taken to Bayhealth Hospital Kent Campus; Harmon was pronounced dead there.

The other victims included two males, ages 25 and 19, reported in stable condition, a 25-year-old woman later transferred to Christiana Hospital in critical condition, and a 19-year-old woman treated and released. Investigators described the incident as a drive-by-style shooting involving a vehicle that approached the residence and fired multiple rounds before fleeing. At the time Harmon’s name was released, police had provided no suspect information and no arrests or charges had been reported in connection with his death.

If anyone attended the party or has information about the vehicle or its occupants, please come forward.
