Dion L. Brooks, a 38-year-old Black man from Wilmington, Delaware, was found dead inside a Wilmington residence after being shot; his body was discovered on September 6, 2018, and investigators concluded the fatal shooting had occurred days earlier. What began as a death investigation was treated as a homicide once the delay in discovery became apparent. Public memorial records list Brooks as a victim of gun violence.

Brooks was the son of Perryletta Brooks and the late Elwood Pritchett. His obituary and online memorial comments describe him as humorous, supportive, and someone who tried to lift others when they were struggling. A funeral service was held at Congo Funeral Home’s North Chapel in Wilmington on September 21, 2018, followed by burial at Silverbrook Cemetery.
