Shamar Lindsay, a 25-year-old man from Wilmington, Delaware, was shot during an attack on the morning of May 24, 2017, and died of his injuries the next day, May 25. An on-duty Wilmington police officer heard gunfire near the 1200 block of Elm Street in the Hedgeville neighborhood and found Lindsay on the ground with a gunshot wound to his upper leg. New Castle County paramedics treated him at the scene and transported him to Christiana Hospital, where he later died.

Lindsay grew up in Wilmington and attended Glasgow High School. He hoped to become a certified fitness trainer and enjoyed working out, sports, music and time with family and friends. He was the father of a son and is remembered by relatives as loving, intelligent and humorous with a large circle of close relationships.

Police identified and arrested Tariq Taylor of Elsmere at the scene; officers recovered a loaded .40-caliber Glock in a trash can along the route Taylor had taken. Taylor later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, firearm and weapons charges, and was sentenced in January 2019. Does anyone have information about Lindsay’s final hours or who saw activity on Elm Street that morning?
