Quadrice Barksdale, a 22-year-old Black man from Wilmington, Delaware, was fatally shot on the night of October 20, 2015. Police responded at about 11:03 p.m. to the 100 block of Lower Oak Street after reports of gunfire and found Barksdale suffering from gunshot wounds; he later died of those injuries.

Barksdale’s family said he had been walking home from a cousin’s house when he was shot in the back of the head. No motive was publicly established, and by August 2016 his mother said investigators had not identified a shooter. Wilmington Police now lists the killing on its Cold Case Unit page and continues to ask the public for information. The case remains unsolved with no publicly identified suspect, arrest, charge, trial, or conviction tied to the homicide.
