Elijah Deloach was 18 and weeks away from his high school graduation when he was shot and killed after stepping into an apartment on the 7900 block of Henry Avenue in Roxborough. As soon as he entered, he was struck once in the chest. He was privately transported to a hospital and died shortly after midnight.

Police identified 23-year-old Kione Gary as the shooter; Gary is described as the boyfriend of the woman Deloach had come to help. Officers say Gary tried to flee by jumping from a fourth-story balcony but was not injured and was taken into custody. He faces charges including murder, aggravated assault, and strangulation and is being held without bail.

Did anyone in the Roxborough or Mount Airy communities know Elijah or have information about the events that night?
