Emmanuel S. Kamara Jr., known as Daddy Boy, was 23 when he was shot while driving through Wilmington on the evening of July 20, 2019. Gunfire struck his vehicle near the 11th Street off-ramp from southbound Interstate 95; despite being mortally wounded on the highway, Kamara continued toward downtown Wilmington before his car crashed into the PureBread Deli in the 500 block of Delaware Avenue shortly before 9 p.m.

Officers found Kamara inside the damaged vehicle with a gunshot wound. He was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead. The preliminary investigation determined the shooting occurred on Interstate 95, so the Delaware State Police took responsibility for the homicide investigation while Wilmington officers assisted. Kamara was identified as a resident of Chichester, Pennsylvania.

Investigators concluded Kamara had been deliberately fired upon while driving, but they have not released a suspect description, a suspected vehicle, a motive, or whether the shooters were in another vehicle. The case remains listed among unsolved Delaware State Police homicide investigations.

If anyone saw the area around the 11th Street off-ramp or Delaware Avenue that evening or has information about who opened fire, please come forward.
