Medford Holmes, 33, was shot and killed on the evening of August 12, 2013, on New Castle Avenue in New Castle, Delaware. State troopers who arrived after 9 p.m. found him near the shoulder of the road with a fatal upper-body wound; he was taken to Christiana Hospital Trauma Center and pronounced dead. A second victim, a 32-year-old man later identified as Holmes’s brother, suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was driven to a local hospital in serious condition.

Investigators believe the shooting grew out of an ongoing dispute with an unknown individual or group. Months earlier Holmes had been cleared of first-degree murder charges from a 2011 incident after a key witness recanted. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and the Delaware State Police continue to seek information. If anyone knew Medford Holmes, his brother, or has information about that August 2013 shooting, please come forward.
