Corporal Stephen Jamelle Ballard, 32, was killed after a routine check of a suspicious red Dodge Charger in the Wawa parking lot at 1605 Pulaski Highway in Bear, Delaware, shortly after noon on April 26, 2017. Ballard, in uniform and driving a marked Delaware State Police vehicle, obtained identification from the driver and a front-seat passenger, Burgon Sealy Jr. of Middletown. When Ballard asked Sealy to step out, Sealy produced a handgun and opened fire. Ballard ran for cover but was struck, then shot multiple additional times in the upper body. He was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead later that afternoon.

Sealy fled to a gray Honda, and information from his family led police to a home on St. Michaels Drive near Middletown. After a roughly 20-hour standoff that included exchanges of gunfire and evacuations, Sealy exited armed and engaged officers on the morning of April 27 and was shot and killed at the scene. No one else was charged in Ballard’s death; the Charger’s driver was detained initially and later cleared.

Does anyone have information about Ballard’s last assignment or the sequence in the Wawa parking lot?
