Donald Tucker was a 29-year-old Black man from Wilmington who was shot and killed on June 18, 2016, in the city’s East Side neighborhood. The shooting occurred around 3 p.m. in the 900 block of North Pine Street; Tucker suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body, was treated by emergency personnel at the scene, taken to Christiana Hospital, and later pronounced dead. Wilmington police publicly identified Tucker as the victim the night of the shooting and opened a homicide investigation.

Detectives eventually developed Wilmington resident Don Qaadir-Bey as a suspect. By January 2017 investigators had obtained arrest warrants alleging first-degree murder and firearm possession, and on the morning of January 20, 2017, Qaadir-Bey was arrested during a search of a Seneca Road residence and booked into the William T. McLaughlin Public Safety Building. Reporting does not provide a clear motive, describe what led detectives to focus on Qaadir-Bey, or document any later trial or final disposition of the charges.
