On May 8, 2014, Dewayne Brown, a 29-year-old Black male from Wilmington, Delaware, was fatally shot near the intersection of 10th and Kirkwood Streets in broad daylight. His killing was described as one of several fatal shootings tied to a larger pattern of gang violence in the city during that period.

A 2015 grand jury indictment charged thirteen members of a local gang with a range of violent offenses and named Brown as one of six individuals killed in the group’s campaign. In February 2017, Raymire Briscoe, who was 17 at the time of the shooting, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in Brown’s death and received a 25-year prison sentence. It is not publicly known whether other defendants were tried or convicted specifically for Brown’s killing.

Anyone with information about Dewayne Brown, his movements that day, or the events around 10th and Kirkwood Streets is asked to come forward.
