Edwin J. Heath Sr., known to family as Eddie, was 33 when he was shot and killed outside his home in the Fox Run Apartments and Townhouses in Bear, Delaware, on the afternoon of May 13, 2015. He was a father of four and newly engaged; family members say he had been planning a family vacation less than a day before the shooting.

Around 4:12 p.m. Heath parked at 149 Antlers Lane and got out of his vehicle while his nine-year-old daughter and six-year-old son remained inside. Multiple callers reported gunfire moments later. Officers found Heath near the curb with multiple gunshot wounds; first responders could not revive him. The children fled and hid in a wooded dead-end area of the complex.

Investigators reviewed community surveillance and identified a man believed to be the gunman, described as mid-20s, about 5 feet 10 inches, 180 pounds, thin build, wearing dark pants and a light-colored sweatshirt, and sporting an unusually thick beard that detectives later considered might have been a fake beard or mask used as a disguise. Witnesses saw the shooter flee on foot toward Route 40 and then into a sedan. Police examined ballistic and DNA evidence, cellphone records and surveillance material but had not announced any arrest.

Did anyone in the Fox Run community or on Route 40 that afternoon see a man matching this description or a gold-colored sedan?
