James B Bradt, a 45-year-old White/Caucasian man from Bridgeville, Delaware, was found shot inside his blue Honda Civic on the morning of November 27, 2019. Troopers responded to reports of gunfire on the 11000 block of Evans Drive; when they arrived Bradt was alone in the driver’s seat, unresponsive. He was taken to Nanticoke Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead; the death was later classified as a homicide by Delaware State Police.

Evans Drive off Coverdale Road was briefly closed while investigators processed the scene. Public reports do not describe a motive, any confrontation, or how Bradt’s car came to be off the roadway, and no suspect information was released. The Homicide Unit continued to investigate and requested tips through Detective J. King or Delaware Crime Stoppers.

If anyone has information about Bradt, his movements that morning, or the events along Evans Drive, please come forward to investigators.
