Iris Nicole Longakit, 18, was fatally shot on the night of Saturday, December 12, 2020, at the Hunters Crossing Apartments on Fairway Road in Newark, Delaware, two days before her 19th birthday. New Castle County officers were called after reports of gunfire and, when they arrived near 39 Fairway Road at about 9:17 p.m., found Iris and 23-year-old Allen Huff with gunshot wounds. Responding officers attempted lifesaving aid, but both victims died from their injuries, and the scene was investigated as a double homicide by the New Castle County Division of Police Criminal Investigation Unit.

Early reports described multiple gunshots and people screaming inside the apartment complex that night. Authorities reported a person fleeing the scene and vehicles and aircraft were used during searches, but officials did not publicly identify a suspect. The case remained under investigation and later became a cold case; no arrest or charges have been publicly reported.

Iris was remembered by family as a beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister, and friend who loved fashion, makeup, changing her hairstyles, and spending time with family and friends.\n\nIf anyone has information or video from the area around Hunters Crossing Apartments on the night of December 12, 2020, please contact investigators.
