LAUREL, Del. - Delaware state police are looking or answers after a 21 year-old Kyle Newman was killed Saturday night in a home invasion in Laurel, Delaware.
It happened around 9:30 p.m. on January 5, 2012. Police say multiple unknown suspects wearing masks, armed with unknown type firearms, entered a residence in the 32000 block of Horsey & Everett Road in Laurel. Once inside, the suspects confronted the 21 year old male, shooting him multiple times in the upper body during a confrontation. They then fled the residence on foot. It is unknown at this time in the investigation if any money or property was taken during the incident.
The 21 year old male victim was taken to the Nanticoke Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
A neighbor tells WMDT that police ordered residents to stay inside their homes while they searched for the suspects last night.
"It's scary with children very scary," said Ginger Elliott. "I'm letting them play outside today, but I'm out here with them. Usually, I don't have to come out here with them, so it's horrible. I hope they catch [the suspects]."
If anyone has any information in reference to this incident, they are asked to contact 911 or the Delaware State Police Homicide Unit, Detective Fred Chambers at 302-388-0196 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333. Information may also be provided via the internet at
