Isaias Gonzalez was a 29-year-old Hispanic/Latino man from Wilmington, Delaware, who was fatally shot during a sequence of violent incidents that began late on July 28, 2015. At about 11:30 p.m., Wilmington police responded to a home invasion in the 900 block of Maryland Avenue where people had forced their way into an apartment and held a victim at gunpoint. Roughly half an hour later, several miles away in the 300 block of Martin Drive in Collins Park, a group broke into a garage where Gonzalez and another man were shot; Gonzalez suffered fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at Christiana Hospital, while the other victim was shot in both legs.

Investigators linked the two scenes after determining the Wilmington home invasion victim knew Gonzalez, prompting a joint investigation by Wilmington and New Castle County police with assistance from the Attorney General’s Office and witnesses. Within about a week, five people were identified in connection with the Collins Park killing and were charged; the prosecutions were later resolved through guilty pleas and by December 2017 all five received prison sentences.

If anyone knew Gonzalez, his movements on July 28, 2015, or has information about the events that night, please come forward.
