Abel Rivera-Mojica, 35, was fatally shot during a Fourth of July night shooting on Wilmington’s West Side. The incident occurred about 9:01 p.m. on July 4, 2020, in the 300 block of North Clayton Street, where what had reportedly been a holiday gathering turned into a crime scene. Rivera-Mojica, known as Molly, was found critically wounded and taken to a local hospital, where he did not survive; some records list his death as July 5, 2020, reflecting the late-night timing.

A 16-year-old boy was also shot in the same incident and treated at the hospital in stable condition. Rivera-Mojica was remembered as a St. Mark’s High School alumnus and an avid Dallas Cowboys fan, survived by parents, siblings, extended family, and friends. Wilmington police investigated the shooting and asked anyone with information to contact Detective Steven Bender or Delaware Crime Stoppers.
