2023 Bridgeville murder suspect arrested

BRIDGEVILLE, Del. – A man has been arrested in Virginia on charges stemming from a 2023 homicide in Bridgeville.

On May 14, 2023, troopers were called to the 21000 block of Mill Park Drive for a reported shooting, finding 23-year-old Orbby Holder lying in the front yard of a residence suffering from gunshot wounds. Holder was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Further investigation led detectives to identify the suspect as 20-year-old Daveon Showell, who was indicted by a Sussex County Grand Jury last week. He was taken into custody in Accomack, Virginia on Monday, and is currently awaiting extradition back to Delaware, where he will be formally charged with first degree murder, possession of a firearm by a person prohibited, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
