James Harland, 35, was killed in the early morning hours of June 8, 2021, after a confrontation inside a residence on Ethan Allen Court in Newark, Delaware, turned into a shooting. Newark police were called just before 1:00 a.m. for a disturbance; a second call reported someone had been shot. Officers found Harland inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy later determined he had been shot seven times.

Another man at the residence, 26-year-old Desmond Elliott, suffered a gunshot wound to the wrist and was treated at a hospital. Investigators say the two men were roommates and that the shooting followed an altercation. According to a court order, Elliott told police he had possessed the weapon used, that the two fought near the top of the stairs, and that he retrieved a firearm from a bathroom after believing he was losing the fight. Elliott was arrested June 9, 2021, initially charged with weapons offenses, held on increased bail, and later indicted on murder first degree and related counts after a grand jury review.

Does anyone have information about Harland’s movements or associates on June 7–8, 2021?
