Emmitt Martin-Brown, a 25-year-old Black man, was killed during a violent intrusion at his Dover apartment on the night of August 18, 2016. Police were called at about 9:34 p.m. after reports of a shooting; officers found him with a gunshot wound to his torso. He received first aid at the scene and was taken to Bayhealth Kent General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators concluded several people allegedly entered the apartment without permission intending to commit a robbery. Multiple gunshots were exchanged between members of the group and occupants of the residence. Authorities said Martin-Brown appeared to have been unintentionally struck during that exchange. Within days detectives identified and sought the extradition of Quashaun Christy, then 22, who was arrested in Philadelphia on August 23, 2016; public reports named possible charges tied to the armed home invasion but did not identify other participants by name.

Martin-Brown is remembered in memorials as a devoted father with a bright smile. Does anyone have information about the other people who entered that apartment or about what happened that night?
