Dequan T. Day Day Dukes was 21 when he was killed in a planned robbery that turned into gunfire on the evening of June 27, 2017, at the Pine Grove Apartments on Webbs Lane in Dover, Delaware. Officers found Dukes inside a vehicle between two apartment buildings with at least one gunshot wound to his upper body; he was taken to Bayhealth Kent General Hospital and pronounced dead a short time later.

Investigators say Dukes was lured to the complex by Lisa Wagaman, who asked him for a ride as part of a scheme to rob him. Police identified Lisa Wagaman, Brett A. Scott, Gregory Sellers and Raymond Ward as participants in the alleged robbery plan. Scott approached Dukes’ vehicle and exchanged gunfire with him; Dukes was fatally shot and Scott suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to the same hospital.

Scott was arrested June 29 and later convicted by a jury of second-degree murder, attempted first-degree robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and conspiracy; the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed those convictions on appeal. Wagaman pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and second-degree conspiracy and was sentenced to 15 years in prison followed by home confinement or work release and probation. Sellers pleaded and agreed to cooperate; Ward was arrested carrying a loaded .38-caliber handgun and faced additional firearm-related charges.

If anyone knew Dukes or has information about the events that led to that night, please share what is known.
