Aaron Moore was 22 when he was killed in the early morning hours of June 27, 2021, after gunfire erupted during a gathering on Louis Court in the Salem Woods community of Newark, Delaware. What began as a party at a residence turned chaotic when several uninvited guests arrived; police said the disturbance escalated into a shooting that left three people struck.

Moore was found among the wounded, given first aid by officers and paramedics, and rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Two other victims — a 17-year-old male struck multiple times and a 19-year-old male with a gunshot wound — were hospitalized in stable condition. Investigators said multiple people appeared to have fired weapons and that a white sedan with a black stripe, possibly with front-end damage from having been struck, fled the scene.

Police linked some of the uninvited attendees to an earlier party in the nearby Buckley community and sought information about who attended either gathering, the sequence of events, and the fleeing vehicle. No arrests or charges had been announced and the homicide investigation remained active. If anyone has information about the gatherings, the sequence of events that brought the groups together, or the white sedan, please come forward.
