Dwayne Allen Payton, age 30, was killed in Wilmington, Delaware, on September 23, 2006. Public memorial listings and obituaries state the death involved gun violence and confirm his date of death and interment at Silverbrook Cemetery, but they do not give the precise location, time, or circumstances of the shooting.

Obituary material lists funeral services held in Wilmington in late September and early October 2006 and names surviving family members including father William Payton, children Tiana, Briana, and Domonta Payton, brother Freddie Lee Hawkins Jr., and extended relatives.

Did anyone in Wilmington at the time recall details about the shooting or have information about Dwayne’s final hours?
