Shalita Middleton was a 17-year-old freshman at Delaware State University when she was shot near the Village Café at about 1 a.m. on September 21, 2007. The gunfire also wounded fellow freshman Nathaniel Pugh in the ankle. Middleton was rushed to Christiana Hospital in Newark, never regained consciousness, and died on October 23, 2007; her family said her internal injuries were too severe to overcome.

Investigators arrested 18-year-old freshman Loyer D. Braden on September 24 and charged him with attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment, and a firearms offense; after Middleton’s death a grand jury upgraded one count to second-degree murder. Braden was said to have left campus after the shooting and returned before his arrest, and he was ordered to stay away from campus and potential witnesses.

In May 2009 a judge dismissed all charges after finding prosecutors had withheld key evidence, including an eyewitness account identifying two men with dreadlocks and white T-shirts as the shooters. The Delaware Department of Justice declined to proceed to trial, and no one else has been charged. Does anyone have information about the two men described by the eyewitness or other details that could help resolve this case?
