Shelton Boomer T Johns was 32 when he was killed in a shooting on northbound Interstate 495 in the New Castle, Delaware, area on Sunday, March 8, 2015. Delaware State Police say he was shot while traveling on the highway and was pronounced dead at the scene after his van left the roadway and came to rest in a ditch along the east side of northbound U.S. Route 13, just south of the entrance ramp to northbound I-495. A passing motorist found Johns slumped in the Chrysler Town and Country and also discovered a wounded woman who was taken to Christiana Hospital.

Investigators found a second vehicle and spent shell casings on northbound I-495 near the split with I-95 and closed portions of Route 13 and I-495 while processing the scenes. Reports say the evidence suggests the shooting began on the highway, but the circumstances that led to the gunfire, whether Johns and the wounded woman knew the shooter, and any motive have not been disclosed. No arrest or suspect has been publicly identified; the Delaware State Police list this as unsolved case number 01-15-18236.
