Jeremy Tunnell, a 20-year-old Black man, was fatally shot late on the night of May 24, 2018, in Wilmington, Delaware. Police were alerted by ShotSpotter about gunfire near West Fifth and North Madison streets at about 10:18 p.m. Officers found Tunnell, who lived on the 800 block of West Fifth Street, with a gunshot wound to his lower abdomen. He was treated at the scene and taken to Christiana Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

An autopsy later determined the gunshot wound caused his death and the case was classified as a homicide. Public reports do not describe what happened immediately before the shooting, where the shooter was positioned, whether Tunnell was outside or in a vehicle, or whether more than one person was involved. Records note possible gang involvement but do not explain the basis for that classification. No public announcement has identified anyone charged with Tunnell’s murder, and the homicide remains without a publicly reported resolution.

If anyone has information about that night or Tunnell’s death, please share what is known.
