Darius (spelled Darrius in some reports) Alexander Jackson-Paul was 23 when he was found with a gunshot wound to the head on the 500 block of West 25th Street in Wilmington on Wednesday, May 10, 2017. The wound proved fatal and his death was investigated as a homicide. He was born October 4, 1993, in Wilmington, the son of Alicia Jackson and Warner Paul Jr., and spent parts of his childhood in Wilmington and Philadelphia, attending local Catholic schools.

In the weeks after the killing, no arrest had been announced and police publicly urged anyone with information to come forward. Jackson-Paul’s mother, Alicia Jackson, made a public appeal nearly a month after the shooting, saying she believed people in the community knew something but were not speaking to investigators; she also said an image of her son at the scene had circulated and added to the family’s pain.

If anyone has information about what happened that evening on West 25th Street, please contact Wilmington police with tips.
