La’Hmeer Carter, 20, was killed in a double shooting the evening of January 12, 2015, at the Vinings at Christiana Apartments on Vinings Way in Newark. Officers were dispatched at about 7:18 p.m. after residents heard a sudden series of gunshots in the occupied complex. Carter was found near the 900 block of Vinings Way; the other victim, 32-year-old Brian Eller, was located near the 700 block. Both men suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died from their injuries.

Police processed the scene, deployed a police dog, and canvassed the apartment community while speaking with residents. Investigators did not publicly identify a suspect or announce a confirmed motive, and nothing publicly released established that either man had been targeted for any particular reason. The investigation moved into New Castle County’s cold-case review and police renewed public appeals for information in subsequent years, with the department continuing to seek tips and offering a cash reward.

Did anyone in the Vinings at Christiana Apartments that night see or hear anything that could help identify who fired those shots?
