Jermaine Black, 31, was one of two men killed in a double shooting in Wilmington, Delaware, on April 23, 2021. Officers were dispatched at about 8:40 p.m. and found Black and 31-year-old James Manlove-McKnight suffering from gunshot wounds; both were alive at the scene but later died at a hospital. The shooting location is listed by the Wilmington Police Department’s cold case listing as the 300 block of West 23rd Street, although an early report described the scene as the 300 block of Concord Avenue.
