Lidia Inglese Marino, 85, and her husband Paul C. Marino, 86, were fatally shot during a morning visit to the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Bear, Delaware, on May 8, 2020. The couple, who lived in Elkton, Maryland, had been visiting the grave of their son Anthony Marino, who died in 2017; those visits were described as frequent and deeply personal. At about 10:13 a.m. troopers responding to reports of shots fired found both victims on the cemetery grounds. Lidia was pronounced dead at the scene; Paul was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died from his injuries.

Authorities named 29-year-old Sheldon C. Francis of Middletown as the gunman. Francis fled into nearby woods, exchanged gunfire with responding officers, and was shot and pronounced dead several hours later. No motive was publicly established and investigators reported no known connection between Francis and the Marinos.

If anyone knew the Marinos or was in the area that morning, can you share what you saw or heard?
