Thomas Christopher Deputy was 34 when he was found mortally wounded inside a vehicle in the 400 block of Barrister Place in Dover, Delaware, during the early morning hours of October 2, 2015. Responding officers and emergency personnel tried to render aid but Deputy was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives later determined he had suffered a single gunshot wound to the upper body and the case was classified as a homicide.

Publicly released details did not establish whether Deputy was shot inside the vehicle or elsewhere, how long elapsed between the shooting and his discovery, why he was on Barrister Place, or whether any eyewitnesses saw the shooting. Dover police repeatedly appealed to the community for information; Deputy’s killing was still listed among active investigations in a November 5, 2015 public notice. No arrest, charge, or conviction connected specifically to his homicide has been publicly reported.

If anyone knew who Deputy had been with that morning or saw activity on Barrister Place around the time he was found, please share what you know.
