Man charged in connection to Dover shooting

A man is in custody after troopers say he assaulted two people and left one victim with a gunshot wound in Dover.

Delaware State Police say on Monday, just after 4:50 PM, troopers were dispatched to the 100 block of Mannering Drive for a reported shooting. Once on scene, troopers say they were informed that a 22-year-old man was taken by EMS to a local area hospital with a gunshot wound. After further investigation, police say the suspect was identified as 21-year-old David Brown, of Dover.

According to the report, Brown came to the Mannering Drive residence, entered the house without permission, assaulted a 19-year-old female resident, and broke down a bedroom door where the 22-year-old victim was located. Authorities report that Brown and the victim then engaged in a physical altercation which continued outside of the home. While outside, the male victim was shot and Brown then fled the scene. 

DSP says the victim sustained a non life threatening gunshot wound to his lower torso and he was being treated at a local area hospital.

Law enforcement says they were assisted  by Probation and Parole in responding to Brown's residence where he was taken into custody without incident. Brown is charged with assault first degree, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, home invasion, offensive touching, and criminal mischief.

He was later committed to the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center on $75,500 cash only bond.
